Pyelonephritis


Hello,

!5 years old cat with CRD and secondary anemia . was well managed for 6 months now it stopped eating, lethargic .

Right kidney is small, with dystrophic mineralization,  missing cranial pole – not sure if functional. Was wondering if the appearance of the left kidney suggest Pyelonephritis due to hyperechoic pelvis, reactive surrounding pericapsular fat and scant amt of poericapsular fluid ? BW suggest severe inflamation, infection, left shift .

Thank you
