Chronic pyelonephritis in the elderly
Urinary tract infection is a common disease in the elderly. Pyelonephritis is an important clinical type of urinary tract infection, which is an infectious inflammation of the renal pelvis, calyces and renal parenchyma caused directly by bacteria (very few are fungi, viruses, protozoa, etc.). Chronic pyelonephritis can be diagnosed in patients with multiple attacks of pyelonephritis or prolonged illness with a course of more than 6 months, as well as deformation and narrowing of the renal pelvis and calyces, unequal sizes of the two kidneys, uneven appearance or persistent decline in renal tubular function. Patients with unclear course of disease and still have renal decline after acute symptoms are controlled can also be diagnosed as chronic. Scholars reported 181 cases of chronic pyelonephritis, of which only 11% had an acute history.

Cefepime Hydrochloride for Injection
Indication: This product can be used to treat moderate to severe infections caused by the above-mentioned sensitive bacteria in adults and children aged 2 months to 16 years, including lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchitis), simple lower urinary tract infections and complicated urinary tract infections (including pyelonephritis), uncomplicated skin and skin and soft tissue infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections (including peritonitis and biliary tract infections), obstetrics and gynecology infections, sepsis, and empirical treatment of patients with neutropenia and fever. It can also be used for bacterial cerebrospinal meningitis in children. Bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing should be performed when bacterial infection is suspected, but because cefepime is a broad-spectrum bactericidal agent for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, cefepime monotherapy can be started before the results of drug sensitivity tests are known. When mixed anaerobic infections are suspected, it is recommended to use other anti-anaerobic drugs in combination.
