| الوصف: | Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a bacterial infection causing inflammation of the kidneys. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical and laboratory findings. Imaging is required if a complication is suspected in acute pyelonephritis to assess the nature and extent of the lesions and to detect underlying causes. CT represents the current imaging modality of choice in clinical practice. CEUS is an alternative that has been proven to be equally accurate in the detection of acute pyelonephritis renal lesions. CEUS allows us to distinguish small simple nephritic involvement from abscess complications and to follow their evolution over time during antibiotic therapy. The absence of ionizing radiation and the lack of nephrotoxicity make CEUS an ideal tool in the study of pyelonephritis. |
