How to diagnose for pyelonephritis

First, the measurement of urinary C-reactive protein (CRP) every other day during the course of the disease is helpful to estimate the curative effect, that is, CRP is effective at a glance and ineffective when it rises. CRP did not increase in acute cystitis. However, CRP may also be elevated in other infectious diseases, and the presence of false positive affects the positioning significance of the test.

Second, direct positioning. In the direct method, Stamey's ureteral catheter method has higher accuracy, but it must be checked by cystoscopy or percutaneous puncture of renal pelvis with skinny needle, so it is not commonly used for traumatic examination. Fairley's urine culture method after bladder washing and sterilization has higher accuracy, is simple and easy to operate, and is commonly used in clinic.

Third: CT scan or MRI scan of the kidney to exclude other renal diseases. Because acute urinary tract infection itself is easy to produce vesicoureteral reflux, intravenous or retrograde pyelography should be performed 4-8 weeks after the elimination of the infection. Routine pyelography is not recommended for acute pyelonephritis and recurrent urinary tract infection without complications.
