The most serious complication of acute pyelonephritis is toxic shock. The Department of nephrology is the doctor.

Second, there are two ways of infection: ① ascending infection, bacteria from the ureter into the renal pelvis, and then into the renal parenchyma. 70% of acute pyelonephritis results from this pathway. ② Blood line infection, bacteria from the blood flow into the renal tubules, from the renal tubules into the renal pelvis, accounting for about 30%, mostly Staphylococcus infection. Urinary tract obstruction and urinary stasis are the most common causes of acute pyelonephritis. Simple pyelonephritis is rare.
