* In patients with recurrent ascending urinary tract infections, it may be necessary to exclude an anatomical abnormality, such as vesicoureteral reflux (urine from the bladder flowing back into the [[ureter]]) or [[polycystic kidney disease]]. Investigations that are commonly used in this setting are [[medical ultrasonography|ultrasound]] of the kidneys or [[voiding cystourethrogram|voiding cystourethrography]].
<br style="clear:left" />
* Emphysematous Pyelonephritis: Ultrasound will characteristically show an enlarged kidney containing high-amplitude echoes within the renal parenchyma, often with low-level posterior dirty [[acoustic shadowing]]; however, the depth of parenchymal involvement may be underestimated at ultrasound, and multiple renal stones may also manifest as echogenic foci without "clean" posterior shadowing.
* Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis:  At sonography, the inflammatory mass itself is [[hypoechoic]], with central [[echogenic]] foci corresponding to renal calculi.

Overview

There are no echocardiography findings associated with pyelonephritis. Ultrasonography is an effective non-invasive technique in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis. It is sometimes used as a replacement of cortical scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children.
