Emphysematous pyelonephritis in renal transplant allograft occurs rarely. This is a case report on a 55-year-old man who had renal transplantation in 1983 and developed post-transplant diabetes mellitus in 1984. This patient suffered from fever and right low abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed as emphysematous pyelonephritis by computerized tomography. He was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage, percutaneous nephrostomy and parenteral antibiotics. Although the management of emphysematous pyelonephritis has been a subject of controversy, we recommend consideration of renal preservation in patients with few risk factors, especially in those patients presenting with chronic renal insufficiency, solitary kidney and transplant allograft.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an uncommon and life-threatening infection of the kidney that is characterized by gas formation within or around the kidney and is associated with diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection. Amoebiasis is a protozoal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica. In its invasive forms, the disease is characterized by visceral abscess formations. We present a case of concomitant emphysematous pyelonephritis and renal amoebiasis in a 42-year-old female with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The patient did not respond well to initial supportive treatment and antibiotherapy. Therefore, nephrectomy was performed. She did extremely well after the operation and was discharged with antidiabetics and antibiotics.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare disease seen usually in patients with diabetes mellitus or obstructive uropathy. We report a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis in a male who had no evidence of diabetes or obstructive uropathy. Such an occurrence of emphysematous pyelonephritis without diabetes or obstructive uropathy is very rare. The patient was managed with antibiotics, supportive measures and surgical drainage and he recovered completely.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotizing renal parenquima infection, which is diabetes mellitus related in almost all cases. This is life threatening and has a high mortality rates despite aggressive management. The most important thing in management is a high diagnostic suspicious and also a rapid treatment, which means nephrectomy. We expose a case giving especial importance to clinical and image diagnose as treatment and evolution. We also make a literature review trying to understand this entity and find pathways for its therapeutic management.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotizing kidney infection characterized by the presence of gas in renal parenchyma, collecting system or perinephric tissue. This rare affection occurs almost exclusively in patients with diabetes mellitus and is due to non-anaerobic gas-producing bacteria. This life-threatening condition leads to septic shock and multiple organ failure. Diagnosis is suspected when a pyelonephritis does not respond to correct treatment, especially with altered vital signs or a diabetic patient. Computed tomography scan permits visualization of the gas and a radiologic classification with a prognostic value. Current treatment modalities are based upon repeated clinical and scanographic evaluations. In addition to systematic antibiotic therapy, percutaneous drainage is probably the first therapeutic stage in the majority of cases, but should not delay emergent rescue nephrectomy if necessary.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is characterized by infection and gas formation in the renal parenchyma. This rare disorder tends to occur more frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus and urinary tract obstruction. In this case report, we describe a nondiabetic patient with Hinman syndrome who developed recurrent emphysematous pyelonephritis that was successfully treated with antibiotics on both occasions.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute bacterial infection responsible for a high mortality. It is characterized by bacterial gas production in the renal parenchyma, occurring in diabetic patients in most case. The gold standard treatment has always been surgery associated with antibiotic therapy. We report the case of a 58 year-old woman, with undocumented diabetes, who presented with emphysematous pyelonephritis complicated with septic shock and acute renal failure. Antibiotherapy alone was successful.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, but potentially lethal, possible sequela of nephrolithiasis, occurring most commonly in diabetic patients. The diagnosis of emphysematous pyelonephritis relies on the radiologic finding of gas in the renal parenchyma. We present the case of a patient with sarcoidosis, diabetes, and obstructing, gas-containing ureteral stones. Gas-containing renal stones are exceedingly rare, but have been linked to serious renal infections. The case management and a brief review of the published reports follow. We propose that gas-containing stones be considered evidence of emphysematous pyelonephritis in certain clinical settings.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, life endangering suppurative infection of the renal parenchyma and perirenal spaces. The disease is encountered mainly in patients with diabetes mellitus and is characterized by the production of intrarenal and, occasionally, perirenal gas. We present 4 cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis encountered in our hospital with review of the literature.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare life-threatening necrotizing infection of the kidney and perirenal space with gas formation. It is usually unilateral and affects patients with a risk factor such as diabetes or urinary obstruction. In the past, most patients required nephrectomy, and in bilateral cases long-term dialysis was inevitable. We present here the unusual case of a patient who developed bilateral EPN in the absence of any known risk factor. He was managed conservatively, required dialysis and bilateral nephrostomies, but eventually recovered completely.
