Inflammatory Renal Disease

摘要: A disparity in terminology for inflammatory renal conditions has caused increasing difficulty comparing observations reported the radiologic vs urologic pathologic literature last two decades. The definitions of such terms as focal bacterial nephritis, lobar nephroma, and reflux nephropathy appear to vary by specialty, or may be avoided altogether (Walsh et al. 1986; Gillenwater 1987). fact that many these new are not recognized pathologist is also disconcerting. This feature carries over into disagreement among radiologists precise definition each term. Focal nephritis nephroma have been used synonymously indicate acute pyelonephritis some radiologists, whereas others latter term only if parenchymal destruction occurred, but a frank abscess.
