    Author: Opl G.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1980 Jun 30; 130(12):417-20. PubMed ID: 7424028.
    Abstract:
    The renal tuberculosis is one of the most important manifestations of the extrapulmonary tuberculosis. There was no decrease in the number of new cases in recent years. A report is given on 213 patients with renal tuberculosis, who were treated stationary in the years 1968 and 1978. Chemotherapy was in renal tuberculosis as successful as in pulmonary tuberculosis. Nephrectomy was performed in 17.3% of the cases. Early nephrectomy is a thing of the past. The duration of hospitalisation is shortened to about 3 months. Chemotherapy should take about one year.
