[Clinical analysis of chronic renal function failure accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis]

In 592 patients with chronic renal function failure (CRFF), 31 were accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis, the incidence was 5.2%. The incidence of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (6.6%) is higher than that of Zun Yi District Hospital (3.9%). The difference may be associated with dialysis therapy and regional TB natural population incidence. The data also showed that accompanied TB may be a reversible factor of deteriorating CRFF.
