Emphysematous pyelonephritis in a renal allograft
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare gas forming, necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma. It is potentially lethal, if not recognized and treated promptly.

| description | Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare gas forming, necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma. It is potentially lethal, if not recognized and treated promptly. EPN-affecting renal allografts has been reported infrequently. We report a case of 34-year-old male renal allograft recipient presented with urosepsis and acute graft dysfunction, found to have EPN. He was treated conservatively with antibiotics and ureteral stenting along with reduction of immunosuppression, with complete recovery. |
