Emphysematous pyelonephritis, a severe kidney infection in diabetic patients, requires prompt treatment. Successful management varies, with some cases needing surgery while others respond to antibiotics and diabetes control.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Diabetology

Background:

  • Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare, necrotizing renal infection often associated with diabetes mellitus.
  • Prompt diagnosis and aggressive management are crucial for favorable outcomes in EPN patients.

Observation:

  • This study presents three cases of EPN in patients with diabetes mellitus.
  • Diagnostic confirmation involved sequential imaging techniques revealing inflammatory renal masses with gas and fluid.

Findings:

  • One patient required percutaneous nephrostomy and subsequent nephroureterectomy.
  • Two patients were successfully treated with antibiotics and strict glycemic control.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the spectrum of EPN management, ranging from conservative medical therapy to surgical intervention.
