Aim: To study the renal function in patients with a comorbid course of reactive arthritis and chronic kidney disease (CKD): pyelonephritis (CP) the exacerbation phase. Materials and methods: It was examined 53 patients. They were divided into two groups: the 1st group with diagnosed reactive arthritis (ReA) and comorbidity of chronic pyelonephritis (n=32) and 2rd group with diagnosed CKD: pyelonephritis, urinary syndrome (n=20). Study included patients with average disease duration for 4,0 ± 0,94 years. The control group was formed of 20 healthy persons (HP). Kidneys function study was performed by the depletion method in terms of spontaneous 12-hour diuresis (Shyuk O., 1981). The concentration of potassium and sodium in urine was determined by flame photometry on “FPL-1” creatinine in plasma and urine – the reaction of picric acid on photocalorimetr “CFC-2” and the spectophotometer “SF-46”. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated by using a formula of Cockroft-Gault (Cockroft, Gault, 1976). The concentration of nitrites in urine (me- tabolites of nitric oxide) were studied using a reducing redactor («Nitrate redactor»), which contains cadmium and copper, and measurements were performed on a spectrophotometer (“SF-46”, Russia) at λ=540 nm. To assess the levels of fibronectin and β2-microglobulin in urine – reader «PR2100-Sanofi» (France). Results: The study of complete blood count was established significantly higher levels of ESR in patients of the 1-st group in comparison with indexes in the 2-nd group (p <0. 05). The study has described the results of protein level reduction in urine: in the 1-st group 0,23±0,023 g/day, and in the 2-nd group 0,28±0,08 g/day. In patients of the 1-st group was identified leucocyturia in 100% (it was small in 78,1% (n=25) of patient) and hematuria – in 15,6% (n=5) of patients. In the 1-st group was detected increased fibronectin and nitrite in the urine in comparison with indexes in the group of patients with chronic pyelonephritis (p<0. 05) and a maximal increase β2-microglobulin in the urine. Was established increased diuresis for 45. 4% (p<0. 05) and GFR at 45,7% (p<0. 05), the concentration of po- tassium in the urine decreased for 46. 5% and simultaneously tubular reabsorption reduced (p<0. 05) in patients of the 1-st group in comparison with indexes in the control group. Conclusions. In patients with a comorbid course of reactive arthritis and chronic pyelonephritis was established increased diuresis, reduction in the concentration of potassium and sodium in the urine, clearance and the excre- tion of fraction sodium increased, decreased GFR and tubular reabsorption in comparison with indexes in the con- trol group (p<0. 05). In patients with a comorbid course of reactive arthritis and chronic pyelonephritis was established kidney dam- age as tubular and glomerular-vascular apparatus which was manifested by increased fibronectin and nitrite in the urine (р<0,05), decrease the creatinine level in urine (р<0,05) and GFR (р<0,05) in comparison with indexes in the group of patients with chronic pyelonephritis. Future research prospects: to construct practical recommendations in diagnosis of reactive arthritis aimed at prevention of pathogen persistence and stimulation of systemic immune response, to study the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.
