years‚ leading to scarring and possible loss of kidney function. The most common cause of pyelonephritis is the backward flow (reflux) of infected urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract. A blockage or abnormality of the urinary system‚ such as those caused by stones‚ tumors‚ congenital deformities‚ or loss of bladder function from nerve disease‚ increases a person’s risk of pyelonephritis. Other risk factors include diabetes mellitus‚ pregnancy‚ chronic bladder infections‚ a history of
