Under the present conditions, improvement of the procedures for labor rehabilitation of patients and invalids remains one of the main tasks of social maintenance. Automatization and integrated mechanization of industrial processes improve labor conditions and decrease the level of energy required from a working person.

The use of additional data defining concretely the reserve capacities of a patients with nephrophthisis having a single functioning kidney allows one to extend the degree of participation of phthisiourological patients in productive activity.
