Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a highly mortal, acute necrotizing disease charactarized by gas formation in either renal parenchyma or perirenal area. Although it is seen quite rare; it usually diagnosed in diabetes mellitus patients. Predominantly it is caused by microorganism Escherichia coli, many other possible microorganism can play a role. It is diagnosed with clinical assesment, radiological imaging and labrotary results. It can be treated with parenteral antibiotic therapy, percutaneous drainage or nephrectomy.
