Whether chronic pyelonephritis can be completely cured mainly depends on its predisposing factors and condition. If the predisposing factors can be removed, the condition is mild and the clinical symptoms are not obvious, it is possible to be cured completely; if the condition is recurring and irreversible renal damage occurs, it may progress to chronic renal failure, and then it is not possible to be cured completely. Chronic pyelonephritis is one of the causes of chronic tubulointerstitial disease due to recurrent urinary tract infections, and patients often have chronic obstructive renal stones or vesicoureteral reflux. If predisposing factors are removed and the condition is mild, manifesting only asymptomatic bacteriuria, etc., chronic pyelonephritis may be completely cured with aggressive treatment. If chronic pyelonephritis imaging shows scar formation, deformation, and fluid accumulation in the renal pelvis and calyces, the kidneys are not smooth in shape, or the two kidneys are unequal in size. At this time, the damage to the kidneys is usually irreversible. Moreover, chronic pyelonephritis is prone to recurrent episodes, and the disease progresses gradually, and chronic renal failure may occur in the late stage. In this case, chronic pyelonephritis is usually difficult to be cured completely. Patients with chronic pyelonephritis are advised to go to regular hospitals in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
