PyelonephritisPyelonephritis
22
Definition
• It is Bacterial infection of the renal pelvis, tubules and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys
Pathophysiology and aetiology
• Infection usually ascends from the urethra most bacterial causes eg Ecoli
• Haematogenous spread is rare eg Staph aureus
• Frequently due to ureterovesical reflux
33
Other causes are : -
urinary tract obstruction by
• bladder tumours
• urethral strictures
• benign prostatic hyperplasia
• urinary stones
44
Pyelonephritis may be acute or chronicPathology
• Kidneys enlarge• Interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cells• Abscesses on the capsule and at
corticomedullary junction• Result in destruction of tubules and the
glomeruli• When chronic, kidneys become scarred,
contracted and nonfunctioning
55
Clinical Manifestations of acute pyelonephritis
• Acutely ill• Chills • Fever• Flank pain and• Renal angle tenderness• Leukocytosis• Pyuria• BacteriuriaIn addition symptoms of lower tract
involvement • Dysuria• Frequency
66
Investigations
• CT scan
• IVP=intra venous pyelogram
• Radionucleotide imaging with gallium citrate and indium-111-labeled WBCs
• Urine culture and sensitivity

Medical Management
• Treated as outpatients if there is no nausea, vomiting or dehydration and other signs and symptoms of sepsis
• Very ill patients and all pregnant women are hospitalized at least for 2 to 3 days for parenteral therapy
• 2 weeks course• Bactrim• Ciprofloxacin• Gentamicin with or without amoxicillin
1010
Problem Problem
• Chronic or recurring symptomless infection persisting for months or years
• Another 6 weeks course if relapse
• Follow up urine culture 2 weeks after completion of therapy
1111
Chronic PyelonephritisChronic PyelonephritisRepeated bouts of acute pyelonephritis may lead
to chronic pyelonephritisClinical manifestations• No symptoms of infection unless an acute
exacerbation occurs• Fatigue• Head ache• Poor appetite• Polyuria• Excessive thirst• Weight lossProgressive scarring renal failure
1212
Assessment and diagnostic findings • IVP• Serum creatinine • Blood urea• Culture and sensitivity
Complications
ESRD=end stage renal disease
Hypertension
Kidney stonesMedical management• According to C&S result• Drugs carefully titrated if renal function is impaired
1313
Nursing management
• Fluid balance – I / O chart• Fluids encouraged unless contraindicated• 4th hourly temp• Antibiotics• Bed rest• Teach how to prevent recurrent infections :
adequate fluids, emptying the bladder regularly and performing recommended perineal hygiene taking antibiotics as prescribed

Organism causing pyelonephritisOrganism causing pyelonephritis
1. Ascending pathway or vesicoureteric refluxa. Mainly – E. coli- Klebsiella aerogenes (causes renal stone)- Enterobacter- Pseudomonas- Enterococcus faecalis- Staphylococcus saprophyticusb. Haematogenous pathogensa. Staphylococcus aureus from infection elsewhere.b. Mycobacterium tuberculosisc. Salmonella typhid. Brucella melitensise. Candida albicans

Laboratory diagnosis of Laboratory diagnosis of PyelonephritisPyelonephritis
A. Urine examination a. Microscopy Pyuria : Presence of pus cell 10 pus cells/cmm unspun urine b. Gram stain one drop of urine 1 organism indicate 10⁵ significant bacteriuria c. Urine biochemical test 1. nitrate reduction to Nitrate by enterobacteriaceae e.g. E. coli 2. Leukocyte esterase indicate presence of pus cells.
B. Blood Culture : As acute Pyelonephritis is most accompanied by fever and Bacterimia.
C. Radiological Studies: These indicate Kidneys and urinary tract abnormalities in chronic
Pyelonephritis

Treatment of Pyelonephritis by Treatment of Pyelonephritis by Antimicrobial agentsAntimicrobial agents
Most of the antibiotics used for cytitis can be used in treatment of Pyelonephritis as far as they are distributed in Blood stream examples are:a.ampicillin /amoxicillin/ clavulanic acidb.Cephosporinsc.Ciprosfloxacind.Gentamicin
Other Anti-microbial which cannot be used in treatment of Pyelonephritis include:a.Nitrofurantoinb.Nalidixic acid
