Can pyelonephritis cause death? |
my mom fall in toilet and mayb hit her head. the cause of death was written as 'acute pyelonepkritis' but i can only find the word 'pyelonephritis' online. mayb its a typo but can acute pyelonephritis lead to death?? the infomation given online doesnt seems to be really that serious that would lead to death.. please help!! Pyelonephritis cant cause sudden death but the fall and the resultant head injury could have caused intracranial hemorrhage and sudden death. Indeed very strange... Pyelonephritis is an infection of the upper part of the urinary tract, that is the middle part of the kidney, which sometimes but rarely can lead to blood poisoning (sepsis) which can lead to death. But this takes days, not hours! Patients usually have urinary tract symptoms before getting pyelonephritis such as frequent burning urinating urge. Could it be quite something else like a stroke of sudden heart death? |
