Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the kidney and upper urinary tract that usually results from noncontiguous bacterial infection of the bladder. It is a renal disorder that involves the pyelum, pelvis or the parenchymal tissues which commonly known as pyelitis. A more severe form of the disease, on the other hand is called urosepsis. The common bacteria that usually found in patient with this disease are E-coli, staphylococcus, and streptococcus. Most kidney infections result from lower urinary tract infections, usually bladder infections. Bacteria can travel from the vagina or rectal area (anus) into the urethra and bladder. Lower urinary system infections may spread to the kidneys, causing pyelonephritis. When you have a bladder infection, the usual mechanism that prevents urine from flowing back to the kidneys does not work properly. This problem can allow infected urine to move into the kidneys and cause a kidney infection that will bring damage to the kidney. Pyelonephritis can either be acute or chronic.
