An infection of the kidney. A disorder characterized by an infectious process involving the kidney. A tubulointerstitial inflammatory disease involving a spectrum of lesions affecting the tubules, interstitium and/or the pelvis of the kidney.

Certain strains of rodents are particularly susceptible to developing spontaneous pyelonephritis and are used as animal models to assess antibiotic therapy. (INHAND) |
