  We describe a patient with bilateral RPN and EPN caused by Candida tropicalis, who suffered from recurrent hematuria, flank pain, acute fulminant renal failure, and obstruction by a sloughed papilla. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Anuria

  Anuria or oliguria may be present in the fulminant stage, if renal failure develops. Urinary stasis leads to pyelonephritis with fever, chills or rigors. [radiopaedia.org]

  Acute renal failure and oliguria or anuria occurs, but when it does, the disease may be fulminant, requiring dialysis and potentially resulting in death. [casereports.in]

  Acute renal failure with oliguria or anuria is rare presentation. In Acute RPN, kidneys appear enlarged and in chronic type, patchy papillary or calyceal changes are seen in early stages and all papillae are affected to some extent in later stages. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Acute renal failure with oliguria or anuria is rare; when these symptoms develop, the disease may be fulminant, requiring dialysis and potentially resulting in death. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Signs: Patients who present with hematuria, even if diagnostic interventions indicate papillary necrosis, require a full urologic workup for their hematuria because they may have a concomitant bladder tumor or similar lesion. [medigoo.com]

Control of infection is important, thus antimicrobial treatment is begun, so as to avert surgery (should the infection not respond). Steinberg, Martin H.; Forget, Bernard G.; Higgs, Douglas R. (2009-08-17). [en.wikipedia.org]

Tests that may be done include: Urine test Blood tests Ultrasound, CT, or other imaging tests of the kidneys There is no specific treatment for renal papillary necrosis. Treatment depends on the cause. [nlm.nih.gov]

Destruction of the renal papilla may result in: (1) secondary degenerative cortical changes which precede chronic renal failure or (2) a rapidly metastasizing upper urothelial carcinoma, which has a very poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The application of this imaging modality may translate into significant short-term improvements in the evolution and prognosis of these patients. [repositorio.uchile.cl]

Expectations (prognosis) The probable outcome varies. If the underlying disorder can be controlled, a spontaneous remission is possible. The progression to renal failure is also possible. [medical-dictionary-search-engines.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) How well a person does, depends on what is causing the condition. If the cause can be controlled, the condition may go away by itself. [iytmed.com]

In sickle cell, being dehydrated could lead to a crises, so preventing this is key. Having a diet rich in anti-oxidants can help prevent and reduce the inflammation and tissue damage associated with RPN. [sicklecellwarriors.com]

Prevention Control of diabetes or sickle cell anemia may reduce risk. Prevention of renal papillary necrosis from analgesic nephropathy includes careful moderation in the use of medications, including over-the-counter analgesics. [medical-dictionary-search-engines.com]
