Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare and ominous necrotizing kidney infection mainly involving diabetic patients. While prompt medical therapy with antibiotic and percutaneous catheter drainage is mainstay of management, nephrectomy should remain for unresponsiveness situations with poor prognostic factors. We introduced the clinical course of an old male presented with bilateral EPN which was successfully treated without nephrectomy regardless of various risk factors such as thrombocytopenia, impaired consciousness, and acute renal failure.
