Complications
- Most people with pyelonephritis do not have complications if appropriately treated with bacteria-fighting medications called antibiotics.
- In rare cases, pyelonephritis may cause permanent kidney scars, which can lead to chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, and kidney failure. These problems usually occur in people with a structural problem in the urinary tract, kidney disease from other causes, or repeated episodes of pyelonephritis.
- Infection in the kidneys may spread to the bloodstream—a serious condition called sepsis—though this is also uncommon.
