| Core Tip |
Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a kidney inflammation typically due to an ascending urinary tract bacterial infection. The diagnosis is suggested by clinical and laboratory findings. Diagnostic imaging should be performed in case of a complicated APN. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a valid diagnostic tool for evaluating APN and performing a follow-up. This review aims to summarize the main evidence on the use of ultrasound and CEUS in the diagnosis of APN and its follow-up. |
