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 have to be hospitalized for pyelonephritis?Doctor's answer:
How kidney pyelonephritis requires hospitalization treatment should be chosen based on the severity of the condition. If the condition is relatively mild, anti-inflammatory drugs and symptomatic treatment can be used without the need for hospitalization, but it is essential to have regular follow-up and medication under the guidance of a specialist doctor. If the condition is severe, with symptoms such as facial swelling and protein in the urine, hospitalization treatment is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.
