Epidemiology and demographics
Although an uncommon condition overall, pyonephrosis has been reported in neonates, children, as well as adults, indicating it can develop in any age group.[1] The incidence is greater in people with immunosuppression (e.g., patients on steroids, organ transplant recipients, HIV AIDS), diabetes mellitus, and nephrolithiasis. No gender preponderance has been reported.
