Abstract

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare necrotizing and suppurative infection with relatively high mortality. It is generally observed in diabetic patients and is characterized by gas formation in intrarenal or perirenal regions. A medical history of diabetes, consciousness level, urinary obstruction, clinical picture of acute renal failure, and thrombocytopenia in EPN cases, as well as radiological imaging play a major role in determining the treatment method for these patients. Here we aimed to discuss the rapid response of a patient with EPN, who also had unconrolled diabetes and underlying chronic renal disease, to successful medical treatment.

Özet

Amfizematöz piyelonefrit (APN) nadir görülen fakat mortalitesi çok yüksek olan nekrotizan ve süpüratif bir enfeksiyondur. Genellikle diyabetik hastalarda görülür ve intrarenal veya perirenal alanlarda gaz oluşumu ile karakterizedir. APN olgularında, öyküde diyabetin olması, bilinç düzeyi, üriner obstrüksiyonun varlığı, akut böbrek yetmezliği tablosu ve trombositopeni gibi durumlar ile radyolojik görüntüleme bu hastaların tedavi şeklini belirlemede önemli rol oynamaktadır. Biz bu olgumuzda kontrolsüz diyabeti ve altta yatan kronik böbrek hastalığı olan APN'li bir olgunun ba- şarılı bir şekilde medikal tedaviye olan hızlı yanıtını tartışmayı amaçladık.
