PRIMARY RETROPERITONEAL FIBROSIS

Primary retroperitoneal fibrosis (PRF) is a rare inflammatory disease causing an obstruction of the retroperitoneal organs with a high risk of chronic renal failure. There is no consensus until now which modality of a treatment (surgical or conservative) should be the method of the first choice. Etiology is still unknown. The aim of this article is a review of literature and presentation of the own experience with the management of this controversial disease.

Keywords: primary retroperitoneal fibrosis, autoimmune disease, prednisolon, ureterolysis, intraperitonealization of ureters.
