[Changes in intraorganic hemomicrocirculation in renal tuberculosis in the light of experimental morphofunctional...

As a result of long-term (from 1969) and extended (800 rabbits) experimental studies using an original complex of specific methods including intravital microscopy with video recording, new evidence on regulation of intrarenal circulation and its impairment in nephrotuberculosis was obtained. The role of the Trueta shunts in this was shown to be insignificant. Of importance was periglomerular shunting. It was concluded that extended microcirculatory disorders in the region of the intact renal parenchima defining development of renal insufficiency were possibly of tuberculosis allergic origin. Measures for their prevention and treatment are proposed.
