[The role of examination of lower urinary tract function in choice of treatment policy in patients with chronic cystitis and chronic nonobstructive pyelonephritis].

The latest investigations evidence for growing number of women with urination disorders in the absence of pathological changes in the urine. This fact suggests the conclusion that dysuria may be caused by neuroendocrine disorders in such women. Besides hemodynamic disorders, urodynamic ones are also involved in pyelonephritis pathogenesis. Our investigations show that chronic non-obstructive pyelonephritis and chronic cystitis can be both a cause and a result of functional disorders of the lower urinary tract related to defects in nervous regulation. Long-term dysfunction of the lower urinary tract may provoke progressive inflammation. In this case antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment of chronic cystitis and chronic non-obstructive pyelonephritis may be low effective without normalization of functional condition of the urinary bladder and urethra.
