Question: can Pyelonephritis cause acute kidney failure?
Answer: Yes, acute renal failure can be due to bacterial pyelonephritis although it is rare. It is often reversible kidney damage on the bright side. It is much more common for severe or recurrent infections to cause permanent kidney damage and lead to chronic kidney disease.
In rare cases, infection in the kidney may spread to the bloodstream. Infection of the bloodstream is a serious condition called sepsis. Acute renal failure, a temporary condition in which the kidneys stop working, can also result.
