The literature concerning renal impairment and damage due to vesical schistosomiasis has been reviewed, with emphasis on radiologic, biochemical, and renographic studies of renal function in affected persons. Presently available evidence suggests that infections due to S. haematobium constitute an important public health problem because they are widely prevalent. A high proportion of affected persons suffer renal impairment and damage due to obstructive uropathic lesions in the lower urinary tract and, probably, through direct immunologic involvement of the kidney. It is therefore important that efforts should be intensified to better define the size and scope of the problem, and to control the disease.
有关膀胱血吸虫病导致的肾损害和损伤的文献已被综述，重点是对受影响人群肾功能的放射学、生物化学和肾造影研究。现有证据表明，埃及血吸虫感染构成了一个重要的公共卫生问题，因为它们广泛流行。很大一部分受影响的人因下尿路梗阻性尿路病变以及可能通过肾脏的直接免疫参与而遭受肾损害和损伤。因此，必须加大努力，以更好地界定该问题的规模和范围，并控制这种疾病。
