METHOD FOR TREATING CHRONIC PYELONEPHRITIS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61H33/00 

FIELD: medicine, nephrology.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating renal diseases and those of urinary tract. One should take mineral baths alternately along the course of physiotherapy as renal tubage and simultaneous intake of mineral water. As mineral one should apply total gaseous-thermal dry-air baths of about 50-55° C at duration of 10-12 min with subsequent increase of temperature and time period up to 55-60° C and 15-20 min, alternately with local lumbar gaseous-thermal vapor-air baths as renal tubage of 40-42° C and duration of about 8-14 min. Moreover, hydrocarbonate calcium-magnesium mineral water of "Kurghazak" spring should be applied after the bath at total quantity of 200 ml, not less. Totally, about 16-18 baths/course. The application of total and local lumbar gaseous-thermal baths at simultaneous intake of mineral water leads to considerable improvement of filtration-reabsorption renal capacity based upon nervous-reflex vascular alterations that leads to decreased spastic states, improved renal circulation and renal metabolic processes, increased diuresis, decreased or liquidated inflammatory process.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
