Renal functional state in patients with chronic pyelonephritis under influence of the galvanization

The indices of radioisotope renography with I 131 -hippuran were studied in 30 patients with chronic kid-ney disease I: pyelonephritis under influence of galvanic current. A prolongation of the period of maximal ac-cumulation of hippuran by the kidneys (p<0,001), the period of half-life washout of a tracer (p<0,01) and elim-ination of the preparation (p<0,001) have been revealed. Accumulation of hippuran in kidneys under the influ-ence of direct current was proved and possibility of galvanization usage to increase the efficacy of inflammato- ry kidney diseases treatment was demonstrated
