A clinical study of bilateral non-obstructive acute pyelonephritis with acute kidney injury in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The aim of our study was to study the clinical profile of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to bilateral acute non-obstructive pyelonephritis. The bilateral involvement was identified on various imaging modalities (ultrasound, computed tomography, nuclear scintigrapy). All the patients had AKI.

Acute bilateral non-obstructive bacterial pyelonephritis with acute kidney injury in the elderly: role of non-invasive studies in its diagnosis.

All patients had acute kidney injury of variable severity at presentation. Renal imaging helped us in revealing bilateral involvement and the findings are discussed.
