Acute pyelonephritis in adults. Should we adopt the pediatric guidelines?
Our data demonstrate high incidence of VUR in adult patients with acute pyelonephritis patients, therefore VUR investigation at least should be considered in adult patients even after first episode of pyelonephritis, especially in cases where there is evidence of nephronia, abscess, kidney scars, atrophic kidney, or hydronephrosis.
