ABSTRACT
Background: Pyelonephritis is a renal inflammatory condition
diagnosed with patient’s
history, physical examination and imaging studies. Although laboratory
finding, clinical sign and symptoms
are considered for the diagnosis and treatment.
Aim: To compare the sonographic findings of pyelonephritis with urine complete
examination
Methodology: A Cross sectional analytical study was conduct
at Gilani Ultrasound Center, Ferozepur Road, Lahore and routine urine examination was performed in the Sanabil Health Services Hospital, Khayaban-e-Quaid, Lahore. Entirely comprised patients
were queried concerning variables such as gender, age, clinical history, grey scale ultrasound findings, Doppler
ultrasound findings and lab findings.
Patients were enquired
to lie down as well as depiction Abdomen.
Results: Out of 138 patients,
77 were males and 61 were females, maximum age of patients
was 77 years and minimum
was 18 years, 75 (54.3%)
patients with clinical
history of pyelonephritis, 67 patients were with lab findings that support pyelonephritis and 71 patients
had no lab findings. Out of 138 patients, 67(48.6%)
patients had right kidney acute
pyelonephritis and 65(47.1%) had left kidney acute pyelonephritis.
Conclusion: The study concluded that there was an important
association among the Urine complete examination as well as sonographic findings in the evaluation of acute pyelonephritis. However, the clinical and
ultrasound findings in acute Pyelonephritis do not play a significant role
but these findings can be helpful in chronic cases of
Pyelonephritis.
Key words: Acute pyelonephritis, Ultrasonography, Urine
complete analysis, Routine urine examination.
