While acute pyelonephritis is known to elicit an antibody response, it is also known that a patient who has had pyelonephritis once is susceptible to recurrent renal infection. Using our experimental model of pyelonephritis in the monkey, we tested whether antibiotic therapy of the acute disease would affect the antibody response. We found that it did, because antibiotic therapy beginning 72 h ...

INTRODUCTION Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is an important mediator of the inflammatory response in serious bacterial infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of urinary TNF-alpha for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted from March 2006 to December 2007 on children with confirmed diagnosis of acute pyelo...

INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URINARY AND SERUM LDH WITH SEVERITY OF CORTICAL INVOLVEMENT IN ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS

OBJECTIVE Pyelonephritis is a common cause of antepartum admission and maternal morbidity. Medical complications associated with pyelonephritis during delivery are not well described; thus the objective of this study was to estimate medical, infectious, and obstetric complications associated with pyelonephritis during the delivery admission.

BACKGROUND Acute pyelonephritis in children can leave a kidney scar that eventually can lead to hypertension or renal failure. 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy (RC DMSA) is a widely accepted technique to assess children with acute pyelonephritis. AIM To evaluate the presence of residual kidney scars detected through RC DMSA, in children with a first episode of acute pyelonephr...

Background: Pyelonephritis is a renal inflammatory condition diagnosed with patient’s history, physical examination and imaging studies. Although laboratory finding, clinical sign symptoms are considered for the diagnosis treatment. Aim: To compare sonographic findings of pyelonephritis urine complete Methodology: A Cross sectional analytical study was conduct at Gilani Ultrasound Center, Feroz...

background tnf-α is one of the most potent cytokines in proinflammatory reactions. results one hundred and twenty children with acute pyelonephritis were evaluated. urinary tnf-α/cr was 0.0051 ± 0.00083 pg/g creatinine. the authors found out a significant difference in urinary tnf-α/cr between patients who have normal and abnormal levels of urine leukocytes, urine protein, urine culture, erythr...

background and aim: urinary tract infections (uti) are common cause of morbidity and mortality especially in young children around the world. pyelonephritis can lead to scar formation, and subsequent hypertension and renal failure. interleukins play a major role in renal scar formation following febrile pyelonephritis. the aim of this study was to investigate the level of urinary interleukin-6 ...
