Abstract
- A clinical observation was made on 284 cases of renal diseases, admitted to the Department of Urology, National Medical Center from January 1972 to December 1971 The results were as follows ; 1) During this period, the total number of in-patients were 969 among which patients with renal diseases were 284 (29.3 %). And ratio between male and female patients was 1.2:1 2) Among renal diseases, the patients with tbc or stone were occupied over half (62.6 %). 3) In renal tbc, the prevalence rate of complication became decreased due to early treatment by early visiting to hospital. And patients taken with only anti-Tb medication became increased. 4) In renal stone or renal injury, there was tendency of taking conservative treatment(pyelolithotomy etc.) rather than taking surgical intervention as like nephrectomy etc.
