[The treatment of suppurative pyelonephritis]

From 1986 in the urological clinic of the Dagestan Medical Academy 82 patients received surgical treatment for purulent pyelonephritis caused by urinary occlusion. Nephrostoma or pyelostoma were applied in most of the patients. In the postoperative period the patients were given antiinflammatory and infusion therapy. Recently, 40 patients were exposed to adjuvant laser treatment. The comparison of the treatment results demonstrated better outcomes in patients exposed to laser radiation. Normalization of renal function, T- and B-immunity in them was faster.
