Acute pyelonephritis is a common bacterial infection

in childhood. It is a concerning infection for pediatricians due to the risk of acute complications, such as urosepsis, or long-term complications, like chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Proper management of pediatric patients with acute pyelonephritis significantly reduces the risk of potential complications, which is why it receives increased attention today.
