Pyonephrosis (from Greek pyon 'pus' and nephros 'kidney'^[1]) is a dangerous kidney infection that is characterized by pus accumulation in the renal collecting system.^[2] It is linked to renal collecting system blockage and suppurative renal parenchymal destruction, which result in complete or nearly complete kidney failure.^[3]
