Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is considered a rare cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), especially when no anatomical abnormalities or predisposing factors are identified. Additionally, non-obstructive pyelonephritis is a very infrequent cause of rapidly progressive acute kidney injury. Herein, we present a rare case of a 55-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with acute non-obstructive pyelonephritis leading to AKI eventually requiring hemodialysis. The patient eventually recovered with the administration of intravenous antibiotics with a significant recovery of renal function.
急性肾盂肾炎（APN）被认为是急性肾损伤（AKI）的罕见病因，尤其是在未发现解剖学异常或易感因素时。此外，非梗阻性肾盂肾炎是快速进展性急性肾损伤的非常罕见的病因。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，一名55岁女性患者被诊断为急性非梗阻性肾盂肾炎，最终导致急性肾损伤，最终需要进行血液透析。患者最终通过静脉注射抗生素治疗康复，肾功能显著恢复。
