Pyelonephritis is an infection that involves the renal parenchyma, calyces, and pelvis of the kidney.
Medical people know that it could be a symptom of carcinoma of the kidney, the urinary bladder, the prostate, papilloma (benign) of the urinary bladder or of the pelvis of the kidney, or tuberculosis of the kidney.
In fact, one of the few symptoms of kidney stones that remain in the pelvis of the kidney is the presence of recurrent kidney or bladder infections.
