Highlights:1. In patients younger than one year old, cystitis was more frequent in boys. Meanwhile, aged 1-5, girls were pyelonephritis and cystitis.2. pyelonephritis, all had fever, followed by diarrhea lethargy.3. Urinary symptoms, such as dysuria hematuria, pyelonephritis. AbstractIntroduction: tract infection (UTI) is a common children. Prompt diagnosis treatment of this are important to pr...

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare but life threatening infection of kidney that is characterized by gas formation within or around the kidney. We describe a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis as a consequence of inadequately treated pelvic-ureteric stone in a diabetic man and complement this with a brief review of the literature pertaining in particular to the management of this condition.

Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP- 7) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF) beta superfamily and is involved in regeneration, repair, and development of specific tissues, for example kidney and skeleton. The experimental studies have shown its protective role against fibrotic processes. Tubulointerstitial changes are present in the pyelonephritic kidney which progresses to fibrosi...

Purpose of the study: Research of the clinical and diagnostic significance of determination of Lipocalin-2 associated with neutrophilic gelatinases (uNGAL) in the urine of children with urinary tract infection (UTI) and pyelonephritis. Materials and methods: We examined 30 children with acute pyelonephritis and UTI aged 1 to 16 years (average age 7.32 ± 4.52) including 26 girls and 4 boys. Veri...

BACKGROUND Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a severe life threatening necrotising infection of the renal parenchyma. The infection most commonly occurs in the diabetic population, often associated with the organism E. coli Emphysematous pyelonephritis differs from standard pyelonephritis by the bacterial liberation and accumulation of gas in the surrounding tissues. The condition is rarely encou...

Chronic pyelonephritis and hypertensive vascular disease often coexist clinically, and a primary and causal role in the relationship usually has been attributed to the renal inflammatory disease. In experimental pyelonephritis, however, where the sequence of events and the presence of other complicating factors can be controlled, such a causal role has not been clearly established. A number of ...

OBJECTIVE We sought to describe the incidence of acute pyelonephritis in pregnancy, and to assess its association with perinatal outcomes in an integrated health care system. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed using medical records on 546,092 singleton pregnancies delivered in all Kaiser Permanente Southern California hospitals from 1993 through 2010. These medical record...

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare infection characterized by necrosis and gas accumulation in the renal parenchyma, adjacent tissues, and/or urinary collecting system. This entity is rarely reported in transplanted kidneys. Computed tomography imaging is necessary for diagnosis and risk classification. The authors described the case of a 58-year-old man who underwent a kidney transplant an...
