Renal abscess: a changing concept.

J W Timmons, A D Perlmutter

    The Journal of Urology
    |March 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Gram-negative bacteria are less common in kidney abscesses but may ascend from the bladder. Early diagnosis and voiding cystourethrography can guide treatment, potentially improving antibiotic effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Renal abscesses are typically associated with Gram-positive bacteria.
    • The pathogenesis of Gram-negative bacterial renal abscesses is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and potential pathways of Gram-negative bacterial renal abscesses.
    • To evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for Gram-negative renal abscesses.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of renal abscess cases.
    • Review of diagnostic imaging, including voiding cystourethrography.
    • Assessment of treatment outcomes for surgical and antibiotic therapies.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Gram-negative organisms are less prevalent than other bacteria in renal abscesses.
  • An ascending pathway is postulated for Gram-negative abscess formation.
  • Voiding cystourethrography can identify vesicoureteral reflux.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gram-negative renal abscesses may result from an ascending route.
    • Early diagnosis is crucial for effective antibiotic therapy.
    • While surgery is standard, timely diagnosis may enhance parenteral antibiotics as definitive treatment.
