Active clinical trials for "Pyelonephritis"

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing pyelonephritis and in avoiding the appearance of new scars in a sample of children under 36 months with vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous sulopenem and oral sulopenem etzadroxil/probenecid in adolescent patients.

Cranberry and cranberry-lingonberry juice prevented urinary tract infections in children and in adults in our earlier clinical trials. The preventive effect was, however, observed late in the follow-up and the next recurrence was not prevented in children. The investigators hypothesize that cranberry-lingonberry juice should be started already during the antimicrobial treatment of acute urinary tract infection in order to maximize the preventive efficacy of the juice. In addition, the investigators aim to find the explanation for the efficacy of cranberry-lingonberry juice by analyzing the concomitant changes in the chemical composition of urine and feces as well as the changes of gut microbiota.

Children who present with pyelonephritis undergo many investigations, and long term care to prevent renal damage. The focus is primarily on preventing renal failure however along the way and particularly with children, other issues arise which impact their lives, as well as their family's lives. Parents are concerned about subjecting their children to invasive procedures and long term antibiotic use, particularly if they are not sure of the benefit. This study seeks to provide information on the impact of investigation and long term antibiotic treatment in reference to long term health and quality of life in children who present with febrile urinary tract infections in the absence of anatomic abnormalities.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a patient education in acute condition about the intake of oral solution antibiotic in children under 6 year-old are effective to improve the satisfaction about the therapeutic education, the knowledge about antibiotics among the patients' families and thereby decrease the misuses of antibiotics.

Phase 2, randomised, double-blind,double-dummy study in hospitalised adults with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis.Treatment duration for each cohort was 7 to 14 days. Patients were not permitted to switch to oral therapy.

The aim of the investigators' study was to evaluate oral and non carbapenem antimicrobial agents which can be used in outpatient for the treatment of non-bacteremic acute pyelonephritis caused by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Escherichia coli. This study was conducted to compare the clinical and bacteriological outcomes of patients with non-bacteremic acute pyelonephritis caused by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Escherichia coli who were treated with intravenous (IV) carbapenems followed by oral sitafloxacin or IV ertapenem.

Antimicrobial treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is controversial. The investigators performed a comparative, parallel-group, randomized, open-label study to assess, in a real clinical setting, the feasibility of and benefit derived from systematic search and antimicrobial treatment of all episodes of AB.

The purpose of this "before-after" prospective multicenter study is to assess the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses in emergency ward.

The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP), serum procalcitonin (PCT) and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the initial investigation of patients hospitalized with suspected acute pyelonephritis (APN).
