Pyelitis


pyelitis

[‚pī·ə′līd·əs] (medicine) Inflammation of the renal pelvis.

Pyelitis

 

an inflammation of the renal pelvis caused by the colon bacillus, staphylococcus, and other microbes penetrating into the pelvis by means of the bloodstream or lymphatic system or ascending from the urinary bladder and ureters.

Pyelitis sometimes occurs in influenza and tonsillitis and more commonly in cystitis, nephrolithiasis, and inflammations of the genitalia and intestine. The disease may develop from such obstructions of the urine flow as congenital or acquired stricture of the urinary tract or pregnancy. The symptoms of pyelitis are fever, pain in the lumbar region, and the presence of white blood cells and bacteria in the urine. Other symptoms are neutrophilic leukocytosis and an accelerated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). The parenchyma of the kidney often becomes infected, resulting in pyelonephritis. Treatment consists of a copious intake of fluids, the application of heat to the lumbar region, and the administering of antibiotics and sulfanilamides. Pyelitis may become chronic.

pyelitis


pyelitis

 [pi″ĕ-li´tis] inflammation of the pelvis" >renal pelvis, a fairly common disease that usually can be diagnosed and cured without great difficulty. Prompt and effective treatment is necessary to prevent the spread of infection and the development of pyelonephritis" >pyelonephritis, which in its chronic form is a severely disabling disease in which damage to the kidney cells may lead to high blood pressure and uremia. adj., adj pyelit´ic.Cause. Pyelitis is usually caused by a microorganism such as Escherichia coli or (less often) streptococci or staphylococci, which may invade the kidneys by way of the blood. It may also arise from an infection of the bladder (cystitis). It is most common among young children, affecting females far more often than males because the urethra is shorter in the female than in the male. This favors the entrance of ascending infections from the outside into the bladder. Female children not properly trained in their toilet habits will, after bowel movements, rub the toilet tissue from the anus forward toward the urethra rather than vice versa. In this way the bacteria commonly found in fecal matter can find their way into the urinary bladder and from there to the renal pelvis.
Any urinary obstruction can sharply increase the chances of the development of pyelitis, since obstruction interferes with the normal ability of the kidney to rid the body of harmful bacteria.
Symptoms. Probably the most common symptoms of pyelitis are frequency and urgency of urination and dysuria. Other possible symptoms include fever, chills, headache, and pain in one or both sides of the lower back. Pyelitis may also be present without any outward symptoms, but urinalysis will reveal many pus cells and occasionally erythrocytes.Treatment. Pyelitis and pyelonephritis can usually be treated successfully with sulfonamides. Certain antibiotics and the urinary antiseptics are also helpful. If the disease is treated promptly, the patient can look forward to early and complete recovery.
cystic pyelitis pyelitis with formation of multiple submucosal cysts.
