-==Overview==
-'''Pyonephrosis''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] ''pyon'' "pus" + ''nephros'' "kidney") is an infection of the renal collecting system. [[Pus]] collects in the [[renal pelvis]] and causes distension of the [[kidney]]. This requires drainage, best performed by [[nephrostomy]].
+==Related Chapters==
-Pyonephrosis is sometimes a complication of renal stones, which can be a source of persisting infection. It may also occur spontaneously.
