Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT urography (MSCTU)in kidney tuberculosis. Methods Thirty cases(16 men and 14 women)of kidnev tuberculosis diagnosed by clinic and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.The patients' mean age was 44 years(range,19-73 years).Of them,17 cases were on the left and 13 on the right.Eighteen cases had irritation symptoms,18 cases had low back pain,6 cases had hematuria,2 cases had a fever; renal tuberculosis was incidentally detected in 2,1 case had left scrotal swelling.The enhancement scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction of multi-slice spiral CT were conducted in all patients. Resuits Among the 30 cases,29 cases of renal tuberculosis were diagnosed with CTU(97%).The low density area in renal parenchyma was seen in 25 cases without expansion and fluidify of pelvis,tubercle calcification was seen in 18 cases,the thickening of renal pelvis and ureter wall was seen in 17 cases,the thinning of cortex of kidney was seen in 12 cases,and the contracture of bladder and poor filling was seen in 2 cases.IVU diagnosed 9 cases of renal tuberculosis(30%).Twenty cases of renal pelvis,calyceal failed to show contrast filling. Conclusion MSCTU has advantages in the diagnosis of renal tuberculosis compared with IVU.
