Objective To evaluate the relationship between maternal fever at the time of hospital admission and subsequent maternal morbidity in pregnant patients with pyelonephritis. Study Design In this retrospective cohort study, inpatient records were reviewed for all obstetric patients
In 180 children (87 children belonging to a control group, 68 with fever of non-renal origin, and 25 with pyelonephritis) albumin and immunoglobulin G (markers for glomerular dysfunction), alpha-1-microglobulin and beta-NAG (markers for proximal tubular dysfunction) and apolipoprotein A1 (marker of
The study aimed to determine the pattern of fever resolution among febrile patients undergoing treatment for acute pyelonephritis (APN) and prove that switching therapy based solely on persistent fever beyond 72 hours of antibiotics treatment may be unwarranted.For the purpose of this study,
Fever of unknown origin is alarming phenomenon in childhood. Diagnostic procedures should be focused on severe bacterial infection: pyelonephritis, pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections such as mastoiditis and sinusitis in particular ethmoiditis. The principles of treatment and
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare, severe infection of renal parenchyma presenting commonly with fever and flank pain and presence of gas in the renal and/or peri-renal space. EPN can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Air shadows in the renal or peri-renal region
Acute pyelonephritis is a clinical syndrome that can be confused with other conditions. To investigate this problem, a retrospective cohort study was conducted using two mutually exclusive sets of clinical criteria for acute pyelonephritis in women 15 years of age or older who presented to the
OBJECTIVE
To differentiate acute pyelonephritis (APN) from fever due to other sources in patients with spinal cord injury by using technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal cortex scintigraphy (DMSA scan).
METHODS
A total of 24 patients with spinal cord injury were admitted with fever.
Fever and flank pain in a diabetic patient should raise the suspicion of emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN). The clinical course of EPN can be severe and life threatening, if not recognized and treated promptly. Gas shadows in the renal or perirenal region on plain X-ray, ultrasound, or computed
Often patients with fevers of unknown origin (FUOs) present with loss of appetite, weight loss, and night sweats, without localizing signs. Some are found to have a renal mass during diagnostic evaluation. In patients with FUOs and a renal mass, the differential diagnosis includes renal
BACKGROUND
Exclusion of prostatitis in screening for prostate cancer (Cap) is a matter of concern in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era. Yet, the identification of acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP), intentionally utilizing PSA in patients with pyrexia has been scarcely reported.
METHODS
In
The urinary excretion of alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1M), beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M), retinol-binding protein (RBP) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) as markers of proximal tubular dysfunction was measured in various forms of urinary tract infections (UTI) and in fever due to non-renal
OBJECTIVE
To study persistence of fever in treated pyelonephritis with respect to guidelines recommending investigation and modification of therapy after 2 to 3 days of fever.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review was made of 70 patients hospitalized for febrile pyelonephritis at a community hospital
Patients with fever, flank pain, and dysuria frequently are encountered in the emergency department. Acute pyelonephritis is the most likely diagnosis; however, its clinical and radiologic presentation consistently overlap with that of acute renal infarction. Ultrasound is unable to distinguish
We evaluated the protective effects of antioxidant at the onset of fever on renal damage in a rat model of acute pyelonephritis. Twenty rats were allocated to four groups. In groups 1 to 3, the animals were given direct inoculation of Escherichia coli into the right kidney, and group four served as
