Summary Introduction

To compare: The etiology, pathophysiology, and manifestations of cystitis and pyelonephritis.

Concept introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the inflammation of the urinary epithelium usually caused by the bacteria from gut flora. However, it can also be caused by other microorganisms or agents. Generally, UTI is mild and without complications until the individual is immunocompromised.

Explanation of Solution

Cystitis is an inflammation of the urinary bladder. Pyelonephritis is an infection in one or both of the upper urinary tracts (ureter, renal pelvis, and interstitium).

Tabular representation: Table 1 shows the comparison between the etiology, pathophysiology, manifestations of cystitis, and pyelonephritis below:

Table 1: The comparison between the cystitis and pyelonephritis

FeaturesCystitisPyelonephritis

               

      Etiology

It is caused due to Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the urinary tract. It is caused due to E.coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Pseudomonas species in the urinary tract.

Pathophysiology

Bacterial infection leads to inflammation of urinary bladder.

Inflammation of renal pelvis and kidney tissues.

Affects the lower urinary tract.

Affects the upper urinary tract.

Infection causes formation of renal calculi and scar tissue.

Chronic infection causes fibrous tissue formation.

Clinical manifestations

Systemic signs include nausea, fever, malaise, and leukocytosis.

Systemic signs include fever, abdominal pain, chills, weight loss and reduced appetite.
