Effect of ultrasound on the functional state of the kidneys in the treatment of chronic dysmetabolic pyelonephritis in children

We studied the effect of ultrasound on the functional state of the kidneys, dysmetabolic disorders, membranolysis processes in the treatment of chronic pyelonephritis in children. We examined 27 children aged from 5 to 14 years old with chronic secondary dysmetabolic pyelonephritis caused by hyperoxaluria in combination with hypercalciuria in the active phase of the process. The functional state of the kidneys was determined by glomerular filtration, calcium and phosphorus excretion, ammonia and titratable acidity. The nature and degree of dysmetabolic disorders were assessed by urinary excretion of oxalate, calcium, uric acid. Membranolysis processes were judged by urinary excretion of ethanolamine and diene conjugates.
