Pyelonephritis

Sonopath Forum

Marie is a 10 1/2 year old Siamese with Azotemia, pyuria (gram negative rod- MIC still pending) and Leukocytosis. All the hallmarks of a pyelonephritis. When I saw her yesterday she had been on IV diuresis and injectable Ampicillin and Baytril.

The L kidney is small and IMO consistent with CKD (Interstitial nephritis). The R kidney is enlarged with irregular morphology and a dilated renal pelvis. The images are unmarked but the larger kidney is the R kidney.

I was hoping I could get the forum opinion on these kidneys. Am I missing or underestimating any othr pathology here. 

Thanks

After reading the comments on the recent Electrocute entry I also have some concern about the irregular expansion of the capsule on that R kidney.
