Abstract

Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a relatively common bacterial infection in children. In previously healthy children, acute kidney injury (AKI) is very rare in the course of APN without urinary tract obstruction, renal hypoperfusion due to hypotension or exposure to nephrotoxic agents. We describe a case of AKI secondary to APN and renal abscess in a child with vesicoureteral reflux. With antibiotic treatment and adequate hydration, the patient was improved. APN should be included in the differential diagnosis of AKI and adequate treatment by proper antibiotics is crucial for full recovery of renal function.

소아에서 급성 신우신염은 상대적으로 흔한 세균 감염 질환이다. 이전에 건강했던 소아에서 요로계의 폐쇄, 저혈압에 의한 신장 허혈, 신장 독성물질에의 노출 등이 없이는 급성 신우신염의 결과로 급성 신부전이 생기기는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 이전에 건강했던 소아에서 방광요관 역류가 동반된 급성 신우신염과 신장 농양에 따른 급성 신부전이 발생한 예를 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 적절한 수액 치료와 항생제 치료를 통해 호전되었다. 증례를 통해 저자들은 급성 신우신염이 급성 신부전의 감별진단에포함되어야 하며, 신장기능의 완전한 회복을 위해서는 적절한 항생제 치료가 수반되어야 함을 제시하는 바이다.
