Right kidney removal, pathology test shows no tuberculosis bacteria - is this good?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine has tuberculosis, and I want to help him, but I don't know how to do so. Is it okay if his right kidney is removed and the pathology test shows no tuberculosis bacteria?

Doctor's answer:

Tuberculosis, if it exists for a long time, can lead to chronic tuberculosis. Generally speaking, as long as the tuberculosis is inactive, it can be diagnosed as self-healing. If the patient has had tuberculosis in the past, they need to have irregular follow-up tests to prevent the re-emergence of active tuberculosis and the possibility of infecting others. Otherwise, there is no very special solution, just irregular follow-up tests. Secondly, it is important to exercise every day to enhance the body's resistance.
