Pyelonephritis-associated pili are hair-like appendages on the surface of certain bacteria that help them adhere to the cells of the kidney. These pili play a crucial role in the development of pyelonephritis, a kidney infection often caused by bacteria like Escherichia coli.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a severe, gas-forming infection of the kidney caused by certain bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli. It is considered a medical emergency due to its high mortality rate and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics and sometimes surgical intervention. Symptoms include fever, flank pain, and systemic signs of infection.

Thrombopenia (thrombocytopenia) is a condition that does not require an antibiotic. It is a problem with clotting. As far as pyelonephritis, whatever is causing this inflammation of the kidney must be have tests. Usually blood tests will show bacteria or viral antibodies. If a virus, no antibiotic is given. As far as the bacteria, the antibiotic is specific.

Pili are thin, hair-like projections on the surface of organisms such as bacteria. The pyelonephritis-associated pili, or PAP, of uropathogenic E. coli (which is the major cause of urinary tract infections) are homologous to type I pili, which is composed of pilin subunits and binds to mannose residues on host cell surfaces. PAP, however, are more thin and flexible and bind to the human receptor GBO4.

White blood cell casts in the urine are typically associated with acute interstitial nephritis, while red blood cell casts are more commonly seen in acute glomerulonephritis. Pyelonephritis is usually characterized by the presence of white blood cells in the urine without casts.

No. When E. Coli has affected a kidney it is called pyelonephritis, ie. an infection of the kidney. By far and away, the most common cause of pyelonephritis is an ascending urinary tract infection (UTI). People (more common in women) often get UTIs from the bacteria e. coli. If the infection is inadequately treated, unnoticed, or if the patient has other underlying conditions like vesico-ureteral reflux, then they can be more apt to develop pyelonephritis.

E. Coli is a ubiquitous bacteria and causes an incredibly high number of UTIs, some of these then go on to become pyelonephritis. The link between rat poison and e. coli does not make sense to me. If rat poison was going to cause health problems it would most likely be manifested in episodes of unexplained bleeding. You might have experienced bleeding in your urine but that would have been caused by the e coli infection in the kidney.

Acute pyelonephritis is a sudden and severe kidney infection usually caused by bacteria entering the kidney via the urinary tract. Common symptoms include fever, chills, back or side pain, frequent urination, and burning sensations during urination. It is essential to treat acute pyelonephritis promptly to prevent complications such as sepsis or kidney damage.

No. Strictly speaking a "kidney infection" refers to pyelonephritis or perinephric abscess - both of which you cannot get from sitting on a cold wall.

Pyelonephritis is typically caused from a lower urinary tract infection (UTI or cystitis) ascending through the ureters from the bladder to the kidney and upper collecting system (nephrons, renal pelvis, renal parenchyma). Typical symptoms include fevers, chills, rigors, blood in the urine, white blood cell casts in the urine, flank pain, and possibly urinary tract infection symptoms. J. DeLaughter, DO
