Abstract:
A clinico-laboratory study of 60 patients with chronic alcoholism (stage II) revealed changes of the kidneys and urinary system in a half of all patients. Radionuclide examination revealed renal function disorders in 78.3% of patients indicating its value in the early diagnosis of alcohol nephropathy. Autopsy data in 246 cases revealed morphological changes in the kidneys in 2/3 of them (dystrophy, necrotic nephrosis, chronic glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis).
