Persistent tuberculous cystitis: the most common indication for nephrectomy in the management of urogenital tuberculosis.

There were 631 patients treated for proven urogenital tuberculosis in 1966-1985. Indications for nephrectomy were retrospectively analyzed in 137 (21.7%) patients operated. A badly damaged or functionless kidney was removed in 85 (62.0%) patients for the early control of persistent tuberculous cystitis; in 18 (13.1%) because of chronic, nonspecific urinary infection, dispersed calcifications with subsequent nephrolithiasis, pain or other discomfort; in 16 (11.7%) due to supposed nephrogenic hypertension, and in 3 (2.2%) because of extrarenal disease. In 15 (10.9%) patients the symptomless kidney was removed preventively. The management of renal tuberculosis by itself did not need nephrectomy.

Six-month chemotherapy for urogenital tuberculosis.

Rifampicin (RMP, 600 mg), isoniazid (INH, 300 mg) and pyrazinamide (PZA, 1,000 mg) administered daily in the hospital for a duration of 2 months was followed at home by daily administration of 600 mg RMP and 300 mg INH for a duration of 4 months. 113 patients with previously untreated and bacteriologically proven urogenital tuberculosis were admitted to the study. Therapy was completed and evaluated in 106 (94%) patients. No failure of chemotherapy was observed during the treatment; one bacteriologically proven relapse occurred after completion of treatment within the 45- to 63-month follow-up. This 6-month chemotherapy seems as efficient as the standard treatment which lasted for 18-24 months.
