A Smoldering Case of Pyelonephritis
Abstract
Cindy Pham, Charity Huang, MojdehNajle Rahim and Hoveda Mufti
Renal abscesses begin with urinary tract infections, which spread to the kidney, usually as a result of pyelonephritis. Patients are especially at risk for renal abscesses if they have anatomical abnormalities in the urinary tract, predisposing to infection. Other risk factors include pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, renal calculi, or ureteral obstruction [3].
