Overview
Pyelonephritis can be prevented secondarily in some cases by giving long term prophylactic antibiotics. Correction of a structural defect that leads to the initial episode of pyelonephritis may also be helpful in eliminating chances of recurrence of Pyelonephritis.
Secondary Prevention
- If no structural or functional abnormality is identified, some studies suggest long-term preventative (prophylactic) treatment with antibiotics, either daily or after sexual intercourse.[1]
- In children at risk of recurrent UTIs, the evidence is inconclusive as to whether long-term prophylactic antibiotics are of use.[2]
- Ingestion of cranberry juice has been studied as a prophylactic measure; while studies are heterogeneous, many suggest a benefit.[3]
Antimicrobial Prophylaxis
- Prophylaxis is required in individuals having two or more episodes of urinary tract infections in 6 months or three or more episodes in 12 months period.[4][5]
- Prophylactic therapy using antimicrobial agents may be considered as either continuously or postcoital prophylaxis for 6 to 12 months.
- The following regimens may be used as single doses prior to sexual activity.[6]
- Prophylactic Therapy:
- Preferred regimen (1): Fosfomycin tromethamine 3 g PO in a single dose
- Preferred regimen (2): Nitrofurantoin monohydrate/macrocrystals 100 mg PO in a single dose
- Preferred regimen (3): Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole 160/800 mg PO double-strength tablet bid in a single dose
- Preferred regimen (4): Trimethoprim 100 mg PO bid in a single dose
- Alternative regimen (1): Ciprofloxacin 250 mg PO bid in a single dose
- Alternative regimen (2): Levofloxacin 250 mg PO qd in a single dose
- Alternative regimen (3): Norfloxacin 400 mg PO bid in a single dose
- Alternative regimen (4): Gatifloxacin 200 mg PO qd in a single dose
- Post-Coital Ciprofloxacin has been found to be similar in effect to daily Ciprofloxacin.[7]
- Nitrofurantoin and Fosfomycin effective for use as long term prophylaxis.[8][9]
