Abstract
An 89-year-old woman was admitted with complaining of fever and
#anuria. Physical examination revealed #pyuria and left #costovertebralangle (CVA) tenderness. A CT scan showed atrophy of the right #kidney,
and perirenal fat stranding in the left abnormally enlarged kidney.
Based
on a clinical diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to acute
pyelonephritis (APN) in the left, intravenous #antibiotics, fluid, and
#hemodialysis
was started. After healing of APN, she could not wean from hemodialysis.
In order to prevent AKI due to APN from progression to end stage
#renaldisease (ESRD), further studies about new treatment are needed.
