Nine elderly patients who presented with features suggestive of acute pyelonephritis were studied with the help of laboratory and imaging investigations. All patients had acute kidney injury of variable severity at presentation. Renal imaging helped us in revealing bilateral involvement and the findings are discussed. The infection was treated with appropriate antibiotics. Because of severe renal failure, five patients were supported with hemodialysis, of them, three became dialysis independent. The remaining two patients were dialysis dependent at discharge. However, none of them came to us for follow-up.
我们对 9 名出现急性肾盂肾炎特征的老年患者进行了研究，借助实验室和影像学检查。所有患者在就诊时均有不同程度的急性肾损伤。肾脏影像学检查有助于发现双侧受累，讨论了相关发现。感染采用适当的抗生素进行治疗。由于严重的肾衰竭，有 5 名患者接受了血液透析支持，其中 3 名患者不再依赖透析。其余 2 名患者在出院时仍依赖透析。然而，他们都没有来随访。
