Suppurative Infection

Pyelonephritis is a suppurative infection of the kidney most commonly due to bacterial infection that may be either acute or chronic. Acute pyelonephritis is usefully subdivided into uncomplicated and complicated. The term complicated pyelonephritis is associated with an abnormal urinary tract, obstruction, stones, immunocompromise, diabetes, pregnancy, or in practical terms any pyelonephritis resulting in severe illness. The distinction is important principally in terms of type, duration, and place of treatment.The clinical spectrum of acute pyelonephritis ranges from relatively mild illness to pyonephrosis and emphysematous pyelonephritis with a fulminant course and high mortality.The term chronic pyelonephritis has been used to describe kidneys damaged from multiple, recurrent, or partially treated episodes of infection, but for many of these examples ‘reflux nephropathy’ is a better description as the role of infection is not always clear. However chronic or very recurrent infections may be associated with diabetes, abnormal urinary tracts, and any cause of obstructed drainage. Chronic pyelonephritis is also an accurate description for the progressive ongoing destruction of the kidney that occurs in xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis or malakoplakia.
