Natural history

If left untreated, pyonephrosis can lead to septic shock and death.

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 patient's condition.
  • Structural changes like scarring, fistulas, and abscesses may occur if the treatment of the cause of obstruction is delayed.
  • Prognosis
