Overview

Natural history

  • Pyonephrosis is a urological emergency. If left untreated, it can rapidly lead to septic shock and death.[1]
  • Abscess formation in or around the renal tissue is also possible.

Complications

  • Long-term complications of pyonephrosis are rare if prompt medical care is received.
  • If not diagnosed and treated promptly, pyonephrosis can lead to septic shock causing rapid deterioration of the patient's condition.
  • Structural changes like scarring, fistulas, and abscess formations may occur if the treatment of the cause of obstruction is delayed. Additionally, permanent damage to the kidneys can develop which may require nephrectomy.[2]

Prognosis

Upon early treatment, the prognosis of pyonephrosis is good. There is significant improvement in the condition within 24-48 hours after drainage of the pus.[3][4]
