In addition to tumor imaging, advanced high-tech PET/CT imaging is increasingly used to elucidate the underlying causes of fever of unknown origin caused by various inflammatory processes, including pyelonephritis. Two clinical cases of whole-body PET/CT with 18F-FDG glucose, which allowed to visualize the molecular and cellular features of acute pyelonephritis as the cause of fever of unknown origin, are presented in the article. The scientifically based mechanisms of this process and the reliability of the results are discussed.

The results of clinical observations and scientific studies of recent years indicate that abstinence from urination before the introduction of radiopharmaceuticals for PET / CT procedures is accompanied by a significantly lower flow of it into the bladder than after preliminary urination.
Purpose Of The Study: Comparative analysis of PET/CT metabolism of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose at the level of the cingulate gyrus of the brain, different regions of the kidney parenchyma and in the bladder wall in individuals without nephrourological history, depending on the phase of the functional state of the bladder.
Introduction: Every year in Russia, more than 200 thousand whole body PET/CT are performed for various diseases in patients without clinical and laboratory manifestations of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, only the "area of interest" of the attending physician is analyzed, while the rest of the organs or rather their metabolic activity is neglected during the standard procedure of this contemporary and high-tech research method.
Aim: To perform a retrospective study of whole-body PET/CT as a tool for prophylactic clinical examination of the population in order to identify subclinical manifestations of chronic kidney disease MATERIALS AND METHODS: The results of whole-body PET/CT with 11C-choline were retrospectively analyzed for the detection of CKD in 100 patients of the Tyumen region who underwent a study for various indications outside the genitourinary system without history, clinical and laboratory manifestations of CKD.
Aim: Purpose to analyze the effectiveness of the herbal preparation Canephron N in the relief of nondiabetic glucosuria in patients with recurrent upper urinary tract infection (UTI).
Materials And Methods: the study included 100 patients, 53 of them were women (median age of all patients 42 (35; 58) years) with recurrent UTI. Patients were referred to the urology department to exclude the obstructive component and concomitant chronic diseases.
