She has hypertension, a high fever, nausea, vomiting and painful urination. The laboratory findings include bacteriuria, proteinuria, and increased BUN and creatinine levels. Sonographically, the right kidney appears normal, but the left renal parenchyma appears narrowed and has focal areas of increased echogenicity. In addition, the left kidney measures abnormally small and appears misshapen and its borders are difficult to visualize. What might be the cause of these sonographic findings?
* acute pyelonephritis
* renal artery stenosis
* emphysematous pyelonephritis
* chronic pyelonephritis
