Abstract

On account of the solution of the problem, whether already after a four weeks' therapy with antibiotics in chronic progressing pyelonephritis a measurable increase of function may develop, the combined PAH-inulin-clearance was performed 35 times. 9 patients did not show a clear restriction of the clearance, wherefore in these cases a control examination was not necessary. In 10 patients of 12 an increase was present, in 7 patients a significant increase of the renal function existed after the therapy carried out. Therefore already after antibiotic impact therapy in patients with chronic pyelonephritis without provable acute episode an improvement of the function can occur, which is to be increased or kept by means of the long-term treatment.
