Overview=
Pyelonephritis can be prevented secondarily in some cases by giving long term prophylactic antibiotics. Correction of a structural defect that lead 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]
