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.

Echocardiography

There are no echocardiography findings associated with pyelonephritis

Ultrasound

The diagnosis of pyelonephritis using ultrasound may feature the following:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

In case of recurrent urinary tract infections, it can help to rule out presence of anatomical defects like polycystic kidney disease.
Emphysematous pyelonephritis: Ultrasound will present an enlarged kidney containing air filled regions within the renal parenchyma, with shadowing shown posterior to the defect. It might not be as helpful in detecting the depth of involvement and stones can also show posterior shadowing.
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: Ultrasound shows the inflammatory mass, with central shadowing depicting renal calculi.

-* 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]].
-* 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.
