Overview
X ray can be very helpful in diagnosing pyelonephritis. Kidney, ureter and bladder should be covered (KUB) in the x ray done to diagnose pyelonephritis.[1][2][3]
X Ray
In the case of a suspicion of kidney stone due to classic colicky painand variable amount of blood in the urine), x rays of the kidneys, ureters and bladder (KUB) may be helpful in finding radio opaque stones.[4][5][6]
- Emphysematous pyelonephritis: In this case a radiograph may depict the presence of gas bubbles.
- Xanthogranulomatous pyelonehritis: an Xray may show presence of a calculus which is most commonly involved in the pathophysiology of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
