STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHANGES KIDNEY AT PATIENTS WITH AIDS
<i>THE AIM.</i> The purpose of the research was to estimate structural-functional changes in the kidney at HIV-infected of patients with the displays of urinary syndrome.<i> PATIENTS AND METHODS.</i> Evaluated the character of functional changes of kidney in 119 patients at the Regional Center of prophylaxis and fight against AIDS stationar of Odessa. Morphological research of kidney was conducted on material when got from 53 dead patients AIDS and 7 patients in whom HIV/AIDS was not exposed, but a concomitant disease was pyelonephritis.<i> RESULTS.</i> The signs of urinary syndrome were determined practically for all of patients with AIDS. Thus at 61,9% patients without a concomitant pyelonephritis the presence of urinary syndrome is marked. Morphological research of tissue of kidney is marked by the diffuse, deep structural changes of cortex and medulla.<i> CONCLUSION.</i> A pyelonephritis was exposed in 84% patients, while in 78,2% were determined the signs of urinary syndrome. Morphological changes exposed at histological research of kidney, carry dystrophic-atrophic character
