Özet
Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) are at increased risk of tuberculosis. Most of these patients offer extrapulmonary presentation of tuberculosis (TB) (1). The symptomatology in renal patients is often insidious and nonspecific, mimicking uremic symptoms, whereas the localization is often extrapulmonary. Renal physicians should be aware of the unusual presentation and localization, and include TB in the differential diagnosis of any patient having nonspecific symptoms like anorexia, fever, and weight loss (2). We aimed to document the clinical profile, laboratory characteristics and outcome of TB in patients who were followed up in Duzce Medical Faculty Nephrology Department.
