A NUMBER OF DISEASES ORIGINATE
FROM THE RENAL TUBERCULOSIS

A NEW PERSPECTIVE OF RENAL TUBERCULOSIS


I am ready to demonstrate to all the interested in more than convincing way correlation of renal tuberculosis with microlithiasis, renal calculosis, parenchyma calcifications with small “cysts” actually representing cavernous spaces, and extensive scary changes on certain parts of the renal capsule.
The correlation between diffuse parenchymal lesions in chronic pyelonephritis and numerous focal, typically tuberculous lesions in the same parenchyma is quite obvious.
Tuberculous foci in the renal parenchyma and inflammatory foci in the prostate (in chronic prostatitis) i.e., in the adnexa (in chronic adnexitis) have the same characteristic appearance (THE MEDALLION SIGN).
Monitoring of tuberculous foci in different phases enables clear identification of correlation between tuberculosis and ureteral stricture (with hydronephrosis as a consequence), tuberculosis and chronic inflammatory changes of the urinary bladder, urethra, seminal vesicles, epididymis, and lymph nodes in the small pelvis.
