Acute Emphysematous Pyelonephritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Emphysematous acute pyelonephritis is a serious and uncommon kidney infection in which gas forms within the kidney tissue, usually associated with certain bacteria and with conditions that favor infection, such as poorly controlled diabetes or urinary obstruction.
How it usually presents: High fever, intense flank pain, a marked general feeling of being unwell, and, at times, urinary symptoms such as burning or changes in the urine.
Why it requires prompt attention: Because it is a kidney infection with a potentially serious course, it demands medical evaluation without delay to study its extent.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who guides care for this condition, often in coordination with the hospital setting. If fever appears with significant kidney pain, it is sensible to seek professional care immediately.
