THE INFLUENCE OF MYCOPLASMA INFECTION ON THE SURVIVAL OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
Mycoplasma infection in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis affects the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease. In a retrospective survey of 61 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis in patients infected with mycoplasma observed changes in hemoglobin, total cholesterol, albumin, indicators of mean arterial blood pressure, daily proteinuria compared with patients without infection. In the presence of mycoplasma infection loss of filtration and renal function significantly accelerated, requiring an early transfer of those patients on hemodialysis.
