Hydrocortisone treatment is associated with early recovery from severe septic shock in patients with obstructive pyelonephritis due to upper urinary tract stone
Our findings suggest potential benefits of hydrocortisone administration for stone pyelonephritis unresponsive to initial fluid and vasopressors. Widespread adoption of hydrocortisone in the treatment of sepsis, which is common in intensive care, could become more important in urology.
