Abstract
|
|
|
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a life-threatening, severe renal infection characterized by the presence of gas in renal parenchyma or perirenal space. Bilateral involvement is rarely seen, with only 17 cases reported in the literature. We herein
report
two cases of bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis. One is occurred subsequently in a patient with diabetic cystopathy, the other is developed simultaneously and shows bilateral-communicated gas pattern on computerized tomography. The theories
on
pathogenesis of the disease are reviewed and the modes of disease progression in our patients are discussed.
