Description
Summary:Sympthoms in renal tuberculosis (TB) usualy includes flank pain, haematuria, and other factors must be included: hydronephrosis of unknown causes descovered on ultrasound exam, small bladdercapacity, nonvisualized kidney on intravenousurography, or impaired renal function on radionucliderenogram12 MAIN TEXT Extrapulmonary TB tends to appear in patients infected with HIV. From here the bacillus arrives in organs where it has conditionsto proliferate, like the kidney, epididymis,encephalus, bone marrow,and the terine tubes. In all cases renal tuberculoses was presented on one side only, with normal renal function on contralateral side. Because the affected side showed severly impared renal function, nephrectomy was neccesary. CONCLUSION Tuberculosis has a high incidence in developing countries.There is a worrisome underdiagnosis of renal TB, which leadsto development of renal insufficiency, chronic kidney disease,and ESRD.
