(1989) R.G. Singhi; I.S. Gambhir; J. Mathur; Usha; K.V. Johny
Twenty cases of A.F.B. culture positive renal tuberculosis without any obstructive feature as demonstrated by I.V.P. were studied. Gross hematuria, dysuria were common presenting symptoms. Proteinuria was present in 14 cases and in 7 cases it was in the nephrotic range. Urine culture was sterile for secondary micro-organism in 6 cases. Hypertension was a presenting feature in 3 cases. Chronic renal failure and acute renal failure were only observed in one case. Pyelographic findings suggestive of renal tuberculosis were present in half of the cases. Associated extragenital tuberculosis was seen in one fourth of cases.
