Diagnosis and Treatment of Pyelonephritis During Pregnancy
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Urinary tract infections are the most common infections in pregnant women. The most common are asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis and pyelonephritis, the latter presenting as a complication in 1 to 2% of women. Urolithiasis is also verycommon, complicating approximately 1 in every 2,000 pregnancies. These entities usually occur due to physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, such as enlargement of both kidneys, increased glomerular filtration rate, as well as dilatation of therenal pelvis and ureters.It is important to perform imaging studies to establish the diagnosis, being renal ultrasound the first line option in the pregnant patient with renal colic because it is harmless to the patient and fetus. Treatment can be conservative with hydration and pain management with analgesics.
