Inflammation of the kidney due to a bacterial infection. The inflammation of the kidney is due to a specific type of urinary tract infection (UTI). The UTI usually begins in the urethra or bladder and travels to the kidneys.

Fever, frequent urination, and pain in the back, side, or groin are the symptoms. Treatment includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization.

How is pyelonephritis diagnosed? Two common laboratory tests are performed to diagnose kidney infections (pyelonephritis). A urine sample is examined under a microscope to determine if white and/or red blood cells are present. The urine is also sent to the lab to see if bacteria grow in a urine culture.

What is the best treatment for pyelonephritis? Outpatient oral antibiotic therapy with a fluoroquinolone is successful in most patients with

mild uncomplicated pyelonephritis. Other effective alternatives include extended-spectrum penicillins, amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, cephalosporins, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Drink plenty of water!

Is pyelonephritis serious? Acute pyelonephritis is a sudden and severe kidney infection. It causes the kidneys to swell and may permanently damage them. Pyelonephritis can be

โ— kidney disease, โ— high blood pressure, โ— kidney failure โ— sepsis.
