Prognosis of Pyelonephritis

 When caught in the early stages, pyelonephritis can be treated completely. However, more often than not, the symptoms are ignored and left untreated, which could cause complications of the condition. The prognosis of pyelonephritis is usually made only after the doctor has conducted all the tests and is able to identify the extent and the severity of the condition. The treatment may be as simple as a round of antibiotics, but in severe cases the patient may require a kidney transplant.
