    Summary

    Renal tuberculosis, though less common, requires diagnosis via urine culture and treatment with drugs like isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifamycin for 18-24 months. Careful follow-up is essential due to potential reactivation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Renal tuberculosis incidence has declined but remains a concern.
    • The disease affects all age groups, with a notable percentage under fifty.
    • Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the treatment and outcomes of renal tuberculosis patients.
    • To highlight diagnostic methods and effective therapeutic agents.
    • To emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up for preventing reactivation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 66 patients treated for renal tuberculosis.
    • Diagnosis confirmed by Lowenstein-Jensen culture of early morning urine samples.
    • Evaluation of treatment regimens including chemotherapy and surgical interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Most patients (75%) were under fifty years of age.
    • Lowenstein-Jensen culture proved effective for diagnosis.
    • Isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifamycin identified as preferred treatments.
    • Long-term treatment (18-24 months) and follow-up are recommended.
    • Chemotherapy is favored over radical surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal tuberculosis necessitates ongoing vigilance and effective management strategies.
    • Prompt diagnosis through urine culture and appropriate multi-drug chemotherapy are key.
    • Long-term treatment and monitoring are vital to prevent disease recurrence.
