Antibiotics for kidney inflammation in women. List

Kidney inflammation develops as a result of the penetration of pathogenic bacteria into the organ, therefore, to eliminate the pathology, doctors prescribe antibiotics. When choosing a medicine, it is important to take into account that the pathogen must be sensitive to the main component, and also that, to eliminate pathology in men and women, treatment is carried out in different ways courses.

Why kidney inflammation in women should be treated with antibiotics and when it can be avoided

Inflammation of the kidneys (pyelonephritis) is infectious. And to eliminate the cause of the development of the disease, it is necessary to use a drug that has a destructive effect on the pathogen, and does not eliminate the symptoms of pathology. It is antibiotics that help destroy the infection that causes the appearance of pyelonephritis.

The main goals of antibiotic use for kidney inflammation are:

• destruction of pathogenic bacteria;
• quick elimination of the symptoms of the disease;
• preventing the development of complications of the disease;
• prevention of the re-development of the disease.

If the patient, in the case of personal convictions, refuses to use antibiotics, then the disease can cause the development of the following complications:

• the development of renal failure;
• the formation of purulent inflammation in the kidney tissues;
• the development of blood poisoning;
• blockage of blood vessels in the kidney;
• the formation of kidney stones;
• constantly high blood pressure;
• death of kidney tissue.

The final complication of pyelonephritis, in the absence of therapy, is the failure of the kidney to work, as a result, the organ is removed.

Output. In the presence of inflammation in the kidneys, antibiotics are an obligatory medication in the treatment. Otherwise, the symptoms of the disease will only be suppressed, and the causative agent of the disease will progress.

What groups of antibiotics are used for pyelonephritis

Antibiotics for inflammation of the kidneys in women can only be prescribed by a nephrologist. Self-selection of drugs can harm the body, since when choosing them, it is necessary to take into account the sensitivity of bacteria to the active element, as well as the form of the course of the disease.

In acute form

If a patient is diagnosed with acute pyelonephritis, the doctor must select not one, but several antibiotics from different groups. The selection of drugs from different groups is necessary due to the fact that bacteria gradually get used to the drug, and it becomes ineffective. As a result, a fairly frequent change of drugs is required to completely destroy the pathogen. The course of antibiotic use can be up to 2 months.

Brief description of antibiotic groups:

List of groups	Characteristics of antibiotic groups
Active component	Amoxicillin trihydrate.
3rd generation cephalosporins	The group occupies one of the leading positions and is often prescribed for the acute form of pyelonephritis. The drugs are highly effective, and the effect of the medication lasts 24 hours. As a result, it is enough to take the drug once a day.
Aminoglycosides	Antibiotics are dose-dependent. To increase the effectiveness of treatment, it is recommended to use them in combination with penicillins or cephalosporins.
Fluoroquinolones	The drugs are distinguished by a wide spectrum of action and their use is rarely accompanied by the development of side effects.
Carbapenems	The group is distinguished by an ultra-wide spectrum of action.
Tetracyclines	Medicines are allocated with a wide spectrum of action, but do not destroy Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus.
Macrolides	The funds have a wide spectrum of action, and the antibacterial effect can persist up to 24 hours after taking the drug.
Penicillins	The drugs have a wide range of action, and also have low toxicity to the body.
Azithromycins	Antibiotics have a wide spectrum of action and are excreted from the body with a single dose for about 50 hours, and after completing the course for 1 week.

In addition to antibiotics, an important component of therapy is the use of immunomodulators and vitamin complexes, since the main medication contributes to a sharp decline in the body's defenses. In addition, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are used, as well as a complex of physiotherapy procedures.

Only combined treatment will completely eliminate the disease and prevent it from becoming chronic.

With chronic course

When diagnosing chronic pyelonephritis, antibiotics are also used in several types and in complex therapy. The difference is longer medication use, which can be lifelong. A woman should not take antibiotics constantly, but in courses, otherwise the immune system can be completely destroyed. The duration of treatment can be from 1.5 to 12 months.

Only correctly selected therapy can achieve long-term remission.
