Kidney Infection (Acute and Chronic Pyelonephritis) — Symptoms and Treatment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Bacterial infection is the most common cause of pyelonephritis. Acute complicated pyelonephritis is an acute emergency and needs immediate treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Infection in acute pyelonephritis is usually due to ascending infection, or due to hematogenous infection. Chronic pyelonephritis is characterized by the presence of recurrent infections, usually due to structural and functional anomalies in the genitourinary tract. Clinical features include fever and abdominal flank pain with or without symptoms of cystitis. WBC casts are the characteristic findings seen in the urine analysis. Fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins are the mainstay in the treatment of pyelonephritis. Prognosis is excellent in uncomplicated pyelonephritis, while it is poor in emphysematous pyelonephritis.

متن کاملPrevention of acute and chronic ascending pyelonephritis in rats by aminoglycoside antibiotics accumulated and persistent in kidneys.
Gentamicin, because it is stored in renal tissues, can prevent acute retrograde pyelonephritis. Since different aminoglycosides accumulate and persist to various degrees in the kidney parenchyma, the prophylactic activities of gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, and netilmicin were compared. The four antibiotics were given intramuscularly to rats 3 days before initiating ascending unilateral pyel...
