Possible Causes

Pyelonephritis

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a well recognised but rare type of chronic pyelonephritis classically occurring in middle-aged women.

Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when your body does not have as much water and fluids as it needs. Dehydration can be mild, moderate, or severe, based on how much of your body's fluid is lost or not replaced.
