[Urgent problems in the study of pyelonephritis in children]
Abstract
The literature data and own observations concerning the features of patho- and morphogenesis of pyelonephritis in children are presented. Particular attention is given to the importance of renal tissue and intrarenal blood vessels dysplasia in the genesis and development of pyelonephritis as well as to the pathogenetic role of inflammatory processes in urinary tract wall in obstructive uropathies. The importance of morphological studies in diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment of pyelonephritis in children is emphasized.
