[Functional system of secretion in renal tuberculosis].

Data are given on the study of functional correlations of the pairs of organs (kidneys-liver and kidneys-lungs) that participate in provision of the functional system of secretion. The correlation of these pairs of organs contribution to the total secretion of metabolites as renal insufficiency grows is characterized by the S-shaped dependence, i.e.

[Radionuclide study of the absorption of nutrients].

The authors present the theoretical rationale, algorithm and results of verification of a new radionuclide method for the determination of nutritive absorption. The proposed method allows the determination of the amount of a labeled unabsorbed food ingredient without the collection and radiometry of feces, with a high degree of significance.

[Absorption of nutrients in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

The findings of radionuclide investigation of enteric absorption in 222 newly-discovered patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, including 62 with concurrent diseases of the gastroenteric tract and hepatobiliary system, are presented. Pulmonary tuberculosis is accompanied by disturbances in the enteric absorption of fat and protein. In the absence of concurrent diseases of the gastroenteric tract and hepatobiliary system, these disturbances commonly appear to be moderate, but with concurrent diseases they can be significant or acute.
