PYELONEPHRITIS is a serious kidney infection that usually starts as a lower urinary tract infection (UTI). Bacteria travel from the bladder into one or both kidneys, causing inflammation and pain.
Common Symptoms

• Back or side (flank) pain
• Frequent or painful urination
• Cloudy, foul-smelling, or bloody urine
Risk Factors
• Kidney stones or urinary tract blockages
• Frequent UTIs
• Abnormal urinary tract structure
• A weakened immune system
Diagnosis and Treatment
Healthcare providers use urine tests, blood tests, and imaging (like ultrasound) to confirm
pyelonephritis. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, hydration, and pain management. Severe infections may require hospitalization for intravenous antibiotics.
Prevention Tips
• Drink plenty of fluids
• Practice good hygiene
• Urinate when you feel the urge
• Always finish prescribed antibiotics
