ON THE FOCAL TEST OF PROVOCATIVE STIMULATIONS BY ULTRA-SHORTWAVE AND TONSILLAR MASSAGE IN THE CHRONIC ONSILLITIS

Report 4. Changes of Urine by Tonsillar Provocations

Abstract

Applying provocative stimulation to the patient of chronic tonsillitis with or without tonsillar systemic complications, changes in urine were examined.
In patients of chronic tonsillitis especially with tonsillar systemic dideases, the increase of albumin and erythrocytes was recognized, and it was most remarkable 3 hours after provocation.
Both the provocative stimulation made no remarkable changes with regard to glucose, leukocytes, desquamative cells and cast in urine while the appearance of cast in urine after tonsillar massage on the patients with tonsillar systemic diseases were considered to be diagnostically significant.
Concerning provocation, either ultra-short-wave irradiation or tonsillar massage will do for the provocative use.
In patients of chronic tonsillitis without any systemic complications, no distinguishing provocative responses in urine were observed.
From the results above mentioned, after the provocative stimulations, the increase and appearance of albumin and erythrocytes in urine of the patients who have systemic diseases were admitted to be diagonstically useful, while changes in urine of those without any tonsillar diseases were of little significance.
