Perinephritis is a disease of the genitourinary system, in which there is an inflammatory process in the perinephric space.
The etiology of the disease depends on the pathogen. These are mainly microbes, although non-microbial factors can also lead to infection, such as urinary tract stones, a foreign body in the bladder, or a kidney cyst caused by sexual intercourse. Perinephritis has also been linked to a weak immune system and other kidney disorders such as inflammatory diseases.
Diagnosis of the disease Symptoms of perinephritic inflammation can be very diverse - from pain in the lower abdomen to a feeling that the bladder is full even after urinating. It is important to consider the intensity of pain with such symptoms. Patients complain of colicky pain, aggravated by coughing, changing body position, walking, and physical activity.
