Popis: Most adults with acute bacterial renal infection demonstrate no roentgen abnormality in the acute stage and recuperate without significant functional or morphological renal abnormality. We report the initial and long-term findings in a virulent form of acute bacterial nephritis caused by gram-negative organisms and predominantly in patients with diabetes and associated septicemia. The findings of a small, poorly functioning symmetrically scarred kidney with significant caliceal distortion and the associated angiographic abnormalities are presented for the first time in the long-term followup of this disease.
