However, according to Coding Clinic, Third Quarter 2018, perianal abscesses are just abscesses superficially located next to the anus and involve the skin and subcutaneous tissues, rather than the anus itself.
Perirenal abscess is a pocket of pus around one or both kidneys. It is caused by an infection.
Perinephric abscesses are located between the capsule of the kidney and the Gerota fascia. The abscesses remain confined in this location because of the Gerota fascia.
Renal abscess forms a walled-off cavity; perinephric abscess consists of a more diffuse liquefaction located between the renal capsule and Gerota's fascia. Septation of the perinephric abscess is frequent, which makes drainage more difficult than that of renal abscess.
A renal abscess, also known as a perirenal or kidney abscess, is a pocket of pus that develops in the kidney tissue. It results from the migration of bacteria from another infection site on the body to the kidneys.
A perinephric abscess can occur through the hematogenous spread of infection from a focus outside the kidney or local spread of a related urologic infection. These abscesses are usually due to ascending infection from the urinary bladder with associated pyelonephritis.
A perinephric pseudocyst is an accumulation of fluid around the kidney. The fluid accumulates inside the renal capsule, a fibrous tissue that normally surrounds the kidney. These cysts may occur on one or both kidneys.
Pathophysiology. Renal cortical abscess results from hematogenous spread of bacteria from a primary extrarenal focus of infection. The source is not apparent in up to one third of cases at the time of diagnosis. Staphylococcus aureus is the etiologic agent in 90% of cortical abscess cases.
Acute pyelonephritis is a common bacterial infection of the renal pelvis and kidney most often seen in young adult women. History and physical examination are the most useful tools for diagnosis. Most patients have fever, although it may be absent early in the illness.
Perinephric abscess refers to the accumulation of infected material and consequent necrosis of tissues within the perinephric space, surrounding the kidneys. It can result from complications of pyelonephritis or it can be due to spread of infection from other body organs through the bloodstream.
Liver abscess; Bacterial liver abscess; Hepatic abscess. Pyogenic liver abscess is a pus-filled pocket of fluid within the liver. Pyogenic means producing pus.
Carbuncle of the kidney may be defined as a metastatic, circumscribed, conglomerate suppurative process, usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, having its origin in some superficial focus, such as a furuncle, paronychia or carbuncle.
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare and aggressive variant of chronic pyelonephritis. It usually occurs due to chronic nephrolithiasis and infection. The diagnosis is often confused with renal cell carcinoma, and a computed tomography (CT) scan, as well as histology of the mass, helps to confirm the diagnosis.
