Overview
Causes of uncomplicated and complicated pyelonephritis are mostly similar. Common causes of complicated pyelonephritis include functional or anatomic abnormality of the urinary tract that leads to vesicoureteral reflux, and infections such as E. coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.[1][2]
Causes
Common Causes
Urinary tract infections causing organisms are most common cause of pyelonephritis.[2][3][4][5][6]
- Most cases of "community-acquired" pyelonephritis are due to bowel organisms that enter the urinary tract. Common organisms are:[1]
- E. coli (70-80%)
- Enterococcus faecalis
- Hospital-acquired infections may be due to coliforms and enterococci, as well as other organisms uncommon in the community.[7]
Less Common Bacterial Causes
Following are the pathogens less frequently involved in causing pyelonephritis.[2][8]
- Morganella morganii
- Acinetobacter baumannii
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Gram-positive cocci
- Brucella
Fungal Causes
Fungi are rarely found as a cause of pyelonephritis.[2]
- Candida species
Structural or Anatomic Causes
Some structural or anatomic causes of pyelonephritis may include:
- Kidney Stones or calculi
- vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
- Posterior urethral valve
- Polycystic Kidney
- Horseshoe kidney
- Pregnancy
- Ureterocele
