運動と腎性血尿

Abstract

We investigated urologically the eight cases who had gross hematuria following severe exercise. In these cases, four (case 5-8) with repeated hematuria showed the abnormal pyelograms; the distortion of the inferior calyx of the right kidney (case 5), the tilting of the right kidney on standing (case 6), and the bilateral pyelectasis (case 7 and 8). From these findings we thought that some cases with repeated hematuria foll o wing severe exercise might show the various renal abnormalities, congenital and/or acquired, and the others As to the microscopic hematuria, about five per cent of 238 self-defense personnels showed abnormal amounts of red cells in urine after their usual training. It is important to differentiate these benign transient hematuria after training from the latent nephritis. The pathogenesis of the hematuria resulting from exercise is not clear . We have to consider, however, the influence of severe exercise on the circulatory system and renal function along with the individual predisposing factors .
