Koch's nephrocirrhosis is a form of chronic kidney tuberculosis, named after the German bacteriologist Robert Koch (1843-1910), who discovered the causative agent of tuberculosis.

With Koch's nephrocirrhosis, diffuse infiltration of the kidney stroma by epithelioid and lymphoid cells occurs. However, unlike other forms of kidney tuberculosis, with Koch's nephrocirrhosis there are no tubercles, foci of caseous necrosis and cavities characteristic of tuberculosis.

Koch's nephrocirrhosis is extremely rare and is the least severe form of tuberculous kidney damage. Despite the absence of typical morphological signs, it is still considered a manifestation of tuberculosis, since it is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

This form of renal tuberculosis is named after Robert Koch for his outstanding contributions to the study of tuberculosis. It was Koch who discovered the causative agent of this disease in 1882 - Koch's bacillus.

**Not greetings** to you, dear reader! Today I have prepared for you an article about Kokhovsky kidney cirrhosis.

Koch's cirrhosis is the rarest form of tuberculosis that affects the kidneys. Normally, the kidneys have a convex shape, but with cirrhosis, the surface becomes flat, which leads to disturbances in their functions, the amount of urine that the kidney is capable of producing decreases. In connection with such disorders, chronic renal failure is observed, which can be provoked by other kidney diseases that already exist. Patients who suffer from this disease generally experience severe pain in the lumbar region due to excessive load on the kidney, and frequent high blood pressure is observed with this disease.
