Renal tuberculosis

Tuberculosis of kidney occupies an important position in urogenital tuberculosis. Most other organs of urogenital tuberculosis are secondary to renal tuberculosis. Therefore, both genitourinary tuberculosis should be considered as part of systemic tuberculosis and urogenital tuberculosis should be considered as part of systemic tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis invades the kidney, and firstly forms lesions in the capillary plexus of the double kidneys, but does not produce clinical symptoms. Most of the lesions are cured due to enhanced body resistance. At this time, it is called pathological renal tuberculosis. If the number of Mycobacterium tuberculosis invading the kidney is large, the toxicity is strong, and the body's resistance is low, it can invade the renal medulla and renal nipples and produce clinical symptoms, which is called clinical renal tuberculosis at this time.
