Abstract

Sepsis and septic shock are possible complications of infection independent of its origin or patient’s age. Acute pyelonephritis can progress to sepsis if not recognised and treated on time. When treating patients with sepsis, antibiotic therapy and local infection control with the cardiorespiratory support are needed. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration is often indicated if acute kidney injury with anuria occurs. Immunoadsorption is a relatively new method with potential of mortality reduction in sepsis. We report a case of a 19 years old female patient with untreated acute pyelonephritis that progressed to septic shock with acute kidney injury and acute respiratory distress sydrome (ARDS).
