Current insights into urogenital tuberculosis in clinical settings
The actual problem of UGT is late diagnosis and the evolution to destructive forms of disease with high proportion of kidney loss, surgeries, chronic infection of the urinary tract and urologic related chronic renal failure. This problem solution is based on three key actions: 1) correct UGT features knowledge; 2) creation of diagnostic guidelines and 3) knowledge diffusion. The knowledge of UGT features and the knowledge diffusion are the main objectives of this review. The creation of liable guidelines is a task in progress and the objective of further studies.
