Pyelonephritis is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that affects the kidneys, causing inflammation and infection of the renal pelvis and the surrounding kidney tissue. This condition can be acute or chronic and often results from bacteria ascending from the lower urinary tract, such as the bladder, up the ureters to the kidneys. Acute pyelonephritis is typically characterized by sudden onset of symptoms, while chronic pyelonephritis can develop over a longer period and may result in persistent kidney damage. The primary cause of pyelonephritis is bacterial infection, with common pathogens including Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally resides in the intestines. Factors contributing to the development of pyelonephritis include urinary tract obstruction, such as from kidney stones or an enlarged prostate, which impairs urine flow and creates an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Other risk factors include poor urinary hygiene, frequent urinary tract infections, and conditions that compromise the immune system. Complications of pyelonephritis can be serious if left untreated or inadequately managed. Potential complications include renal abscesses, which are localized collections of pus in the kidney, and sepsis, a severe systemic response to infection that can lead to organ failure and life-threatening conditions. Chronic pyelonephritis can result in scarring of the kidneys, leading to permanent kidney damage and chronic kidney disease. Symptoms of pyelonephritis often include fever, flank pain, nausea, vomiting, and dysuria (painful urination). Effective treatment typically involves antibiotics to address the bacterial infection, along with supportive care and management of any underlying conditions or contributing factors. Regular follow-up is essential to ensure resolution of the infection and to monitor for any potential complications.
