摘要
Objective To study the new characteristics on diagnosis and treatment of renal tuberculosis ( RT). Methods Eighty-seven patients with renal tuberculosis were retrospectively reviewed; their diagnosis was established by standard microbiological and histological techniques. Results Atypical RT was diagnosed by various examinations, including urinary analysis, polymerase chain reaction of tuberculosis ( PCR-TB), ultrasonography, intravenous urography ( IVU), and computerized tomography (CT). Treatment consisted of antituberculous chemotherapy in all patients, in combination with nephrectomy (62. 5 %) or enterocytoplasty (4. 6%). Conclusion The differential diagnosis of RT should be emphasized, especially for atypical RT, provided a much more specific diagnosis in clinical suspicion of RT. IVU can not be regarded as a specific examination for RT. Computerised tomography (CT) can be used for early diagnosis of RT. Surgery for TR is still ablative. 5 refs.
