Pyelonephritis patients usually present in the emergency department with sudden development of pain radiating to the flank in the presence of [[dysuria]] and [[fever]]. The differentiation of Pyelonephritis from other causes of [[dysuria]] is based on severity of symptoms and the typical radiation of pain. A thorough history and examination is required to differentiate pyelonephritis from other causes of [[dysuria]] and [[flank pain]].
