[Surgical policy in acute purulent pyelonephritis in patients with diabetes].

Efficacy of treatment of 208 diabetic patients with acute pyelonephritis was analyzed. Surgical treatment was performed in 58 patients (43 with insulin-non-depended and 15 with insulin-depended types). All the patients were divided into 4 groups depending on forms of pyelonephritis: non-destructive (116 patients), purulent-destructive (58), calcllious (34), purulent-calculous (10). Algorithm of differential diagnosis between non-destructive and purulent-destructive forms of acute pyelonephritis in diabetic patients are presented. It is demonstrated that surgical treatment is the main method in complex therapy of purulent-destructive forms. Rational surgical policy is substantiated. In patient with diabetes and purulent pyelonephritis nephrectomy is more expediently. Nephrostomy may be used only in light forms of diabetes with local destructive forms ofapostematosic nephritis. Radical surgical policy permitted to achieve positive result of treatment in majority of patients. Lethal outcomes were seen in two-sided lesion of kidneys with apostems, and carbuncles.
