Introduction: In this case report, we addressed the effects of a Korean medicine treatment on recurrent pyelonephritis in a female patient with a duplicated collecting system.
Case report: A 22-year-old female with acute pyelonephritis was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medication, Insampaedok-san plus Oryeong-san, and with antibiotic therapy. We evaluated the improvements in her symptoms by measuring C-reactive protein, WBC count, body temperature, and a numeric rating scale for nausea. The symptoms of fever and nausea improved after two days of hospitalization. From the 4th day of taking the herbal medicine, the antibiotic IV infusion was changed to oral agents.
Conclusions: This clinical case study suggests that modified Insampaedok-san might have shortened the duration of intravenous antibiotic infusion and hospitalization for recurrent pyelonephritis in a female patient with a bifid ureter.
