DC Pyelonephritis

You were evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today for problems urinating. Your urine suggests that you have a kidney infection (pyelonephritis). Please drink plenty of clear liquids. You will be given a prescription for antibiotics, please take in full as directed. 

Please follow up with your primary care physician as needed. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one.  If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this paper list or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance.


Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening problems urinating, back pain, blood in your urine, fevers, recurrent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. 

Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your care.
