Secondary prevention
- Secondary prevention includes methods to diagnose and treat an existent disease in early stages before it causes significant morbidity.
- Immediate intravenous antibiotic treatment followed by prompt decompression of the pus is essential to prevent development of septic shock and rapid worsening of the patient's condition. Irreversible damage to the kidney can occur if the treatment is delayed.
- Structural changes like scarring, fistulas, and abscesses may occur if the definitive treatment is delayed (e.g., urolithiasis, congenital urological anomaly, tumor).
