Whether female pyelonephritis is serious or not mainly depends on the treatment effect and related complications. If the treatment effect is good and there is no obvious complication, it is usually not serious; if the condition is prolonged and serious complications occur, it may lead to renal insufficiency and eventually progress to uremia, which is more serious at this time.
Pyelonephritis is an upper urinary tract infection, mostly bacterial. Most patients can be completely cured after anti-infection treatment such as levofloxacin and cephalosporin, and the condition is usually not serious at this time.
Some patients can develop serious complications, such as perinephric abscess, shock, renal papillary necrosis, and acute renal failure. Or if the condition is prolonged and progresses to chronic pyelonephritis, it may lead to renal insufficiency and eventually develop into uremia, which is more serious at this time.
Patients with pyelonephritis are advised to go to regular hospitals for timely consultation and targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of doctors.
