[Organization of early detection of nephrotuberculosis in risk groups]
Abstract:
The present capacities of early detection of nephrotuberculosis in risk groups are considered in detailed. For this, a total of 1150 patients, including 650 from general health care facilities and 500 from tuberculosis dispensaries, were examined. Comprehensive examination patients from risk groups revealed nephrotuberculosis in 135 (11.7%) patients. The most patients with nephrotuberculosis were identified in the tuberculosis dispensaries (60.7%) whereas these amounted to 39.3% in the general health care facilities. The data of medical history, renal ultrasonography, and urinalysis for Mycobacterium tuberculosis play an important role in the early detection of nephrotuberculosis. The leading techniques in detecting patients with nephrotuberculosis in the risk groups are currently X-ray and ultrasonographic studies that identify 60.5 and 55.7% patients, respectively. The developed clinical, laboratory, and ultrasonographic studies in the tuberculosis dispensaries and general health care facilities considerably enhance the diagnostic capacities of detecting nephrotuberculosis.

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.
