Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Do I need to be hospitalized for pyelonephritis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended to be hospitalized for treatment. Pyelonephritis is mostly caused by bacterial infections, so it is advisable to use antibiotics such as cephalosporins or quinolones for anti-inflammatory treatment. If treatment is not timely, it may develop into chronic pyelonephritis. If chronic nephritis occurs, it may lead to kidney function impairment. It is important to pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. Additionally, it is necessary to avoid drinking beer.
