Abstract
The present study aims to evaluate role of Computed Tomography in Diagnosis and Characterization of Renal Infectious Diseases, delineating the extent of pathology and identifying associated complications. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus with history of recurrent urinary tract infections or renal calculi, symptoms of flank pain, dysuria and fever, should be considered as high risk. These patients should be closely followed up with contrast enhanced or non-contrast CT scan, depending on their renal function.
