Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of percutaneous catheter drainage of the kidney under the guidance of ultrasound in the treatment of renal tuberculosis.
Methods Twenty-one patients with renal tuberculosis were selected for catheter drainage, whose preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine, urine volume, and potassium were compared, and the preoperative and postoperative complications were analyzed.
Results All patients were treated by ultrasound catheter drainage to the 7th day after operation, and the average serum creatinine and potassium were both gradually declined to the normal range on the 3rd day after operation. The urine volume increased obviously after the surgery, achieving the peak on the 2nd day after surgery, and then decreased gradually to the normal range on the 3rd day after operation. The serum creatinine, urine volume and potassium had obvious differences between before the surgery and on the 3rd day after the surgery. The differences are statistically significant (t=16.19, -47.95, 21.41; all P<0.05). No patient formed fistula before or after surgery. Five patients had gastrointestinal reactions before the surgery, and the reactions improved on the 2nd day after the surgery.
Conclusion The application of percutaneous catheter drainage of the kidney under the guidance of ultrasound in patients with renal tuberculosis can save renal function of patients and have important value for the treatment of renal tuberculosis.
