“…Emphysematous pyelitis is usually accompanied by obstruction due to calculus, neoplasm or stricture and 50% of the affected patients are diabetics [10][11][12] . CT shows gas within the dilated PCS and urinary bladder ( bladder lumen or linear streaks of air in the bladder wall ( Figure 15B).…”

Spectrum of acute renal infections includes acute pyelonephritis, renal and perirenal abscesses, pyonephrosis, emphysematous pyelonephritis and emphysematous cystitis. The chronic renal infections that we routinely encounter encompass chronic pyelonephritis, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, and eosinophilic cystitis. Patients with diabetes, malignancy and leukaemia are frequently immunocompromised and more prone to fungal infections viz . angioinvasive aspergillus, candida and mucor. Tuberculosis and parasitic infestation of the kidney is common in tropical countries. Imaging is not routinely indicated in uncomplicated renal infections as clinical findings and laboratory data are generally sufficient for making a diagnosis. However, imaging plays a crucial role under specific situations like immunocompromised patients, treatment non-responders, equivocal clinical diagnosis, congenital anomaly evaluation, transplant imaging and for evaluating extent of disease. We aim to review in this article the varied imaging spectrum of renal inflammatory lesions. Multimodality imaging of renal inflammatory lesionsCore tip: Imaging in renal infections is challenging, given the relatively non-specific nature of findings in majority of the cases. A careful assessment of clinical situation in question is essential to accurately choose the imaging modality which would provide most information. In this review we discuss the appropriateness of specific imaging modalities, to allow the radiologist to choose the best modality for a given clinical situation. In addition, some entities such as acute pyelonephritis, Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and emphysematous pyelonephritis have some specific imaging features. In this review we describe and illustrate such specific features, to facilitate their recognition when present.

“…The infections may manifest as cystitis, pyelonephritis, or pyelitis. EP is a rare, gas-forming, acute bacterial urinary tract infection that is associated with gas localized in only the renal collecting system [1,2,4]. The pathogenesis of emphysematous urinary tract infections remains poorly understood.…”

AbstractÖz Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare life -threatening suppurative necrotizing infection of kidney parenchyma or perirenal tissue characterized by the formation of gas. In the present case, Emphysematous pyelitis is a less common variant of emphysematous pyelonephritis and describes the conservative treatment options. The purpose of this paper is to show that a serious condition with emphysematous pyelitis may regress with aggressive medical therapy.Amfizematöz piyelonefrit, nadir görülen hayatı tehtid eden, böbrek parankimi veya perirenal dokularda gaz oluşumuyla karakterize süpüratif ve nekrotizan bir enfeksiyondur. Bu olgu sunumunda, mfizematöz piyelonefritin daha az görülen bir varyantı olan amfizematöz piyelit ve konzervatif tedavi seçeneği anlatılmaktadır. Bu yazının amacı ciddi bir tablo olan amfizematöz piyelitin agresif medikal tedaviyle regrese olabileceğini göstermektir.
