An evaluation of the current therapeutic regimen for renal tuberculosis.

Renal tuberculosis will continue to be a potentially lethal disease and must be considered a diagnostic possibility in all patients with infection in order to discover it in time. Multiple drug regimens have withstood the test of time and it appears that triple drug therapy is more efficacious than 2 drugs since triple drugs permit the skipping of 1 or another of the medications with less danger of relapse. Rifampin is a new drug that is well tolerated and efficacious, although expensive. We recommend continuous use of triple drugs for 2 years at least with the continuance of pyridoxine. We advise an excretory urogram, the collection of 3 urine specimens for culture and the passage of ureteral catheters every 6 months during treatment and every 12 months thereafter for 10 years. We do not consider relapse an indication for an operation but for further therapy, using medications to which the patient's organism is proved susceptible by bacteriologic means. Under modern conditions an operation is rarely necessary.

[Renal tuberculosis and renal adenocarcinoma: a misleading association].

The association of renal cancer and renal tuberculosis is uncommon. While the incidental discovery of renal cell carcinoma in a tuberculous kidney is a classical finding, the discovery of tuberculous lesions after nephrectomy for cancer is exceptional. The authors describe the case of a patient operated for renal cancer in whom histological examination revealed associated renal tuberculosis.

[Renal tuberculosis associated with renal adenocarcinoma: unusual association].

We present a patient 50 years old, complaining of right lumbar pain and miccional syndrome for three weeks. After analytic and x-ray studies, renal tuberculosis and renal cell carcinoma was the diagnosis. We started with specific antibiotic therapy and a radical nephrectomy was developed. According with the literature revised, just three cases has been published before. Because is an unusual clinic presentation we present these clinical note, we discuss the pathogenic and therapeutic procedures.

Hypertension due to renal tuberculosis: assessment by renal vein renin sampling.

A 36-year-old man with asymptomatic hypertension was shown to have destruction of the right kidney due to renal tuberculosis. The peripheral renin level was normal, but renal vein renin sampling showed predominant renin secretion from the right kidney both in basal samples and after acute stimulation of renin release with intravenous diazoxide. Nephrectomy has resulted in marked reduction of blood pressure without treatment one year after operation. The findings support the predictive value of renal vein renin sampling when hypertension is associated with renal parenchymal disease, even when peripheral renin is normal.
