Pyonephrosis (Greek pyon "pus" + 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]
