    Acute pyelonephritis is caused by an ascending urinary tract infection that reaches the kidneys, typically by Pseudomonas Aeroginosa. This results in interstitial abscesses in the kidney parenchyma and damage to renal tubules. Symptoms include low back pain, flank pain, fever, chills, and other symptoms as the infection causes inflammation of the renal pelvis and kidneys. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, holding back urine, sexual activity, and recent urinary instrumentation.
