Overview
There are no known screening tests for Pyelonephritis in normal population. Though Pregnancy is an indication for screening for the presence of bacteria in the urine as this may require aggressive treatment because of the associated higher chances of developing pyelonephritis and other complications. Unlike other settings where bacteria are found in the urine of an asymptomatic, non-pregnant woman, bacterial presence in pregnancy should be treated with antibiotics. Urologic surgery and research are other indications for screening patients for asymptomatic bacteriuria.[1]
Screening
Screening is recommended to detect bacteriuria during pregnancy. Bacteriuria in pregnancy has significance in that it is always treated unlike asymptomatic non-pregnant population and that the choice of treatment should not have adverse effects on the fetus or the mother. Urine culture is done to screen this population for bacterial presence.[1][2]
- Asymptomatic bacteriuria is only screened for in the following circumstances:[3]
- Pregnancy
- Before urologic surgery
- Research purposes
- Routine blood cultures for pyelonephritis detection in pregnancy have not been found to be effective[4]
