Excretory hepatic function (EHF) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) were studied in 115 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis by the data of radionuclide studies. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 included 89 patients whose blood samples showed viral hepatitis B markers (VHBM) and organic chlorine pesticides (OCP) and Group 1 comprised 26 patients without VHBM and OCP. More than 50% of the examinees were found to have impairments in both EHF and ERPF. In some of them, these disorders progressed during treatment. There was a correlation between these parameters, which makes it necessary to search for new pathogenetic exposures in order to improve hepatic and renal functions in patients with blood VHBM and OCP.
