- Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening necrotizing inflammation of the renal parenchyma. EPN associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPCK) is extremely rare. We report such a case of bilateral EPN with ADPCK that was successfully treated with conservative methods. To our knowledge, our case is only the second to document bilateral EPN occurring with ADPCK and the first one to be treated successfully with conservative methods.Copyright © 2000 S.
