Before streptomycin and PAS came in to use, we conducted a statiastical review on 75 cases of chronic renal tuberculosis before and after surgical operations and the following conclusions were made:
1) Renal tuberculosis was found mostly between ages 21 to 40 who had previously suffered from tuberculosis of other organs than kidney. Tuberculosis of other organs as well as renal tuberculosis was a part of general tuberculosis.
2) Nothing of special significance was found in the general blood tests in the renal tuberculosis just as in the similar tests for tuberculosis of other organs. Various temperatures were shown, among which the normal temperature was comparatively common larger in number. Unfavorable was the prognosis of those whose temperature rose before and after operation.
3) Fluid out put was slightly impeded and the prognosis of heavier impediments was unfavorable. Excretion of indigocarmin in the incipient renal tuberculosis was slightly prolonged, and that of those who were at in advance condition and in the last stages were markedly prolonged or sometimes stopped.
4) The postoperative prognosis of renal tuberculosis was dependent upon the tuberculosis of the remaining kidney and also of other organs, especially pulmonary and genital tuberculosis.
5) In most cases, vesical troubles were remaining after the operation for a long time and therefore a long time observation was required.
6) Many cases of bone and joint tuberculosis showed a presence of albumin and tubercle bacilli in urine and most of them had renal tuberculosis. The possible relationship between the renal tuberculosis and the bone and joint tuberculosis attracts our attention
