We report our experience with 3 uraemic patients who were found to have transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, ureter and urinary bladder after undergoing haemodialysis for an average of 18 months (range 11-28). The underlying causes of renal failure were chronic glomerulonephritis or pyelonephritis. Bloody urethral discharge was the cardinal symptom. Because of anuria, it was often discovered at a late stage. In spite of their poor general condition and advanced stage, palliative surgical intervention was still performed. After a mean follow-up of 9 months, progression of disease was noted in 1 patient. The importance of regular follow-up in patients with end-stage renal disease for early detection of concomitant cancer cannot be over-emphasised. Uraemic patients with urothelial cancer should be treated in the same way as non-uraemic patients, since aggressive surgical intervention may improve their quality of life and prolong their survival.

The microflora of clinical material (urine, urethral discharge and smear, vaginal discharge and smear, feces in colonic dysbacteriosis) from patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) in the Moscow Region was studied. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis have been found to be the most common agents isolated from the urine of UTI patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other staphylococcal species and enterococci account for a smaller proportion of infections. High- (E. coli and S. epidermidis) and moderate-priority pathogens are translocated into the urinary tract from the colonic biotope in dysbacteriosis. The causative agents of non-gonococcal urethritis are staphylococci (more commonly epidermal ones) in 50% of cases, those of pyelonephritis are staphylococci (predominantly E. coli) in more than 50% of cases. The etiological agents of female genital infections are staphylococci (mainly epidermal ones) in 40% of cases.
