Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pyelonephritis may manifest as wedge shaped zones of decreased attenuation or a hypodense mass in its focal form (Figure 3). The diffuse form of acute pyelonephritis may cause global enlargement, poor enhancement of renal parenchyma, absent excretion of contrast and streakiness of fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chronic pyelonephritis is associated with progressive renal scarring, which can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). For example, in reflux nephropathy, intrarenal reflux of infected urine is suggested to induce renal injury, which heals with scar formation.
