Most patients with pyelonephritis are women. If acute pyelonephritis is not treated in time, it will gradually develop into chronic pyelonephritis. The incidence of pyelonephritis is very high.

It is very necessary for us to understand the symptoms of pyelonephritis. Understanding the symptoms can help us detect and treat it early.

1. Acute pyelonephritis

(1) General symptoms: The onset is acute, and early symptoms include low fever and chills. The body temperature of a person with fever can reach as high as 40℃. When fever occurs, symptoms such as headache and body aches are obvious, and the symptoms will be alleviated after the fever subsides.

(2) Urinary system symptoms: Dull pain or soreness in the lower back is one of the early symptoms. As the disease progresses, abdominal cramps appear, accompanied by frequent urination and urgency. If it is a child, the symptoms are different, including convulsions and seizures. During the physical examination, there was obvious tenderness when pressing the abdomen and bladder with hands.

(3) Gastrointestinal symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and indigestion are typical symptoms. Some patients also experience abdominal discomfort.

2. Chronic pyelonephritis

Unlike acute pyelonephritis, the symptoms of chronic pyelonephritis are complex. Some patients have no symptoms, while others have severe symptoms. Most cases of chronic pyelonephritis develop from acute pyelonephritis, so clinical symptoms of acute pyelonephritis will appear when the disease occurs, such as low fever, anorexia, back pain, urgency and frequency of urination, etc. If acute pyelonephritis develops into chronic pyelonephritis with a long course, symptoms such as hydronephrosis and calyx deformation will appear. In the late stage, due to severe damage to the renal tubules and glomeruli, most patients will develop uremia. Uremia is a serious disease. In order to prevent and treat it early, chronic pyelonephritis should be treated actively.
