Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, life-threatening infection of the kidney associated with the production of gas, usually found in diabetic patients. Experience of this condition reported in the literature suggests that vigorous medical treatment and early nephrectomy are advisable. We report a case in which percutaneous renal drainage combined with medical therapy produced not only complete recovery of the patient, but also preservation of renal function on the affected side.
气肿性肾盂肾炎是一种罕见的、危及生命的肾脏感染，伴有气体产生，通常见于糖尿病患者。文献中报道的这种疾病的经验表明，积极的药物治疗和早期肾切除术是可取的。我们报告一例，经皮肾引流联合药物治疗不仅使患者完全康复，而且保留了患侧的肾功能。
