Prognosis

In general, quick diagnosis and treatment of perirenal abscess should lead to a good outcome. Kidney stones must be treated to avoid further infections. In rare cases, the infection can spread beyond the kidney area and into the bloodstream, which can be deadly.

If one has kidney stones, the infection may not go away.
