Pyelitis

Juice recipe

Pyelitis is a condition which affects renal pelvis which is a part of the kidney and causes inflammatory changes in the lining of the renal pelvis.

Inflammation of the pelvis (pyelitis) is most commonly the result of infection by bacteria and the condition is usually short lived. It is often neglected, and thus spreads to the deeper tissues of the kidney affecting calyces and parenchyma which is then known as pyelonephritis. Pyelitis is commonly caused by a bacterial infection that spreads up the urinary tract beginning from the urethra. Urinary tract infection is the most common cause, produced by organisms such as E. coli. Other organisms such as pseudomonas and klebsiella may also cause urinary tract infections
