To Kill the Calyces: A Rare Case of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis Complicated by Emphysematous Pyelonephritis. [PDF]
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XPN) is a rare chronic renal infection associated with obstructive nephrolithiasis and recurrent urinary tract infections. Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is an even rarer necrotizing infection characterized by intrarenal gas, most commonly seen in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
