[Pyelonephritis in various types of obstructive uropathies in children]. 1980

L V Leonova, and A L Cheskis

Kidney biopsies were examined in 73 children with some forms of obstructive uropathies: vesico-renal reflux and obstructive megaurether. In 59 patients (80%), chronic pyelonephritis was detected. The predominant morphological form of chronic pyelonephritis in patients with obstructive uropathies is a mixed form with a combination of tubulo-stromal-vascular changes. In most patients chronic pyelonephritis was extensive up to the development of nephrosclerosis, in 22% it developed against the background of renal dysplasia. The nature and intensity of pyelonephritis was shown to depend on the severity of congenital pathology of the urinary tracts and the age of the patients.
