Treatment of pyelonephritis

Due to the continuous changes in people’s living environment and lifestyle, the incidence of many diseases is becoming increasingly higher, among which pyelonephritis is the most common. The onset of pyelonephritis has a great impact on people's work and life. Moreover, many people do not know much about pyelonephritis and do not know what method to choose to treat pyelonephritis when the disease occurs.

Many friends do not know much about the treatment of pyelonephritis, and they cannot detect the disease at the first time it occurs, which means that the disease is not treated in time and affects subsequent treatment. Therefore, we all should know more about pyelonephritis.

Pyelonephritis refers to inflammation of the renal pelvis, which is mostly caused by bacterial infection. Pyelonephritis is also called upper urinary tract infection, which is usually accompanied by lower urinary tract inflammation and is difficult to strictly distinguish clinically. Acute pyelonephritis mostly occurs in women of childbearing age. Patients often have systemic symptoms such as low back pain, tenderness and percussion pain in the kidney area, chills, fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, as well as bladder irritation signs such as frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. Blood tests may show an increase in white blood cells. The purpose of treatment for pyelonephritis is to relieve symptoms, prevent recurrence, and reduce damage to the renal parenchyma. Patients should be encouraged to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to reduce medullary osmotic pressure, improve the body's phagocytic cell function, and flush out cells in the bladder.

If you have symptoms of systemic infection such as fever, you should rest in bed. Taking sodium bicarbonate can alkalize urine, relieve bladder irritation symptoms, and enhance the efficacy of aminoglycoside antibiotics, penicillin, erythromycin and sulfonamides, but it can reduce the efficacy of tetracycline and furazolidone. Those with predisposing factors should be treated, such as kidney stones, ureteral malformations, etc. Anti-infection treatment is best performed based on urine bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing.
