Pyelonephritis
Pyelonephritis is an infection that affects the kidney, generally when germs ascend from the lower urinary tract, and it is considered a more serious form of urinary tract infection.
Common symptoms:
- Fever and chills
- Pain in the lower back or side
- Discomfort when urinating
- Nausea or general malaise
When to see a doctor? The combination of fever with flank pain and urinary symptoms warrants prompt care.
Which specialist treats it? The emergency physician and internist handle the acute phase, while the urologist and the nephrologist help with the workup of the urinary tract and kidneys. If you have fever along with back pain or discomfort when urinating, the prudent thing is to seek evaluation without delay.
