No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute pyelonephritis is important to recognize and treat quickly. Today the diagnosis is primarily clinical and often challenging. Sometimes acute pyelonephritis is complicated by obstruction leading to hydronephrosis. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ultrasound scanning conducted by a radiologist can diagnose acute pyelonephritis. Also, the investigators will investigate whether health care professionals with basic ultrasound skills can diagnose hydronephrosis by point-of-care ultrasound scanning in patients suspected of acute pyelonephritis.

Conditions

  • Pyelonephritis Acute

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

MRI

Gold standard for identifying inflammatory changes in patients with acute pyelonephritis

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound performed by a radiologist

US performed by a radiologist including standard grayscale evaluation of the kidneys, Doppler US and contrast enhanced US (CEUS).

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Point of care ultrasound

Point of care US by a study assistant with basic ultrasound skills and training to access the presence or absence of hydronephrosis. If hydronephrosis is present it will be graded into one of four categories.
