Ultrasound demonstrates "dirty shadowing" related to the large amount of gas in the
renal parenchyma and perirenal space (arrows). 超声显示在肾实质和肾周间隙(箭头所示)因气体产生了边界不清的声影。
This axial CT image with soft-tissue windows shows gas replacing the renal
parenchyma (arrow) as well as a large amount of perinephric gas.
软组织轴向CT显示气体替代了肾实质(箭头所示)和肾周围有大量的气体。
This axial CT image with lung windows better depicts the amount of gas replacing
the renal parenchyma (arrow) as well as the perinephric gas.
肺窗轴向CT更清晰的显示了大量的气体替代了肾实质(箭头所示)和肾周围有大量

Emphysematous pyelonephritis 气肿性肾盂肾炎
Case Points
病例要点
1、 Imaging findings include cortical destruction and the presence of gas, which may
produce a gas-fluid level on CT or dirty shadowing on ultrasound.
2、 Emphysematous pyelonephritis is typically seen in immunocompromised patients,
including poorly controlled diabetics.
3、 Causative agents include E. coli and Klebsiella.
4、 Prompt treatment with drainage and/or nephrectomy is required.
5、 图像可见肾脏皮质破坏,气体充盈,在CT上可见气-液线,超声图像上可见边界不清的
声影。
6、 气肿性肾盂肾炎一般见于免疫力低下的患者,包括控制不好的糖尿病患者。
7、 该病的致病因子包括大肠杆菌和克雷伯氏菌。
8、 该病应迅速采用导尿和/或肾切除术治疗。
Discussion
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a severe infection of the kidney, almost always seen in
patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. However, once emphysematous
pyelonephritis has developed, the severity of the underlying diabetes has no correlation to
mortality rates. Instead, the presence of thrombocytopenia, altered level of consciousness, and
shock are predictors of poor prognosis. Causative agents are usually bacteria, most commonly
E. coli, but Klebsiella and Proteus are also often culprits.
On CT, emphysematous pyelonephritis can be divided into two categories. Type 1 is more
aggressive and involves replacement of renal parenchyma by gas. Type 2 involves fluid
collections with a smaller foci of gas. Type 1 tends to have a more aggressive course and
worse clinical prognosis. Mortality rates of type 1 emphysematous pyelonephritis are nearly
70%, so prompt intervention is necessary.
The gas of emphysematous pyelonephritis corresponds to areas of dirty shadowing due to
reverberation artifact on sonographic imaging. Care must be taken to ensure that bowel loops
are not mistaken for emphysematous pyelonephritis. Gas may also be seen on plain film
radiography and should not be overlooked. However, CT is considered the mainstay in
diagnosing and evaluating this disease.
