[Combined low-intensity laser radiation in renal tuberculosis]
Abstract:
Combined external radiation in the projection of the kidneys and intravascular laser blood radiation by applying an AZOR-2K apparatus were used in the combined treatment of 54 patients with tuberculosis of the urinary system. Analysis of the biochemical and immunological parameters of the patients' peripheral blood before and 3 weeks and 3 months after the combined treatment provided evidence suggesting a decrease in the magnitude of lipid peroxidation, an increase in the antioxidative status, and a reduction in the level of metabolites that affect on the development of the intoxication syndrome. The clinical findings suggest that the combined treatment has a beneficial impact on the course of renal tuberculosis, as appeared as better functional indices of urinary organs.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
