[Chronic pyelonephritis in workers of chemical industry: pathogenesis and treatment]
Abstract:
The examination of 500 workers engaged in the production of chemicals detected chronic pyelonephritis in 81 (16%) of them. Such occupational hazards as furnace-charge dust, fly-powder, calcium petre in the air, intensify their toxic action on workers in high temperature and humidity (54-67%) at workplace and provoke pyelonephritis. An experimental model of pyelonephritis was developed in animals exposed to the above environmental hazards. Ceruloplasmin added to combined treatment of chronic pyelonephritis relieves endotoxicosis by reducing content of middle-mass molecules in blood plasma.
