Ans: B
Feedback:
Chronic pyelonephritis involves a recurrent or persistent bacterial infection superimposed on urinary tract obstruction, urine reflux, or both. Chronic obstructive pyelonephritis can be bilateral, caused by conditions that obstruct bladder outflow; or unilateral, such as occurs with ureteral obstruction. Cranberry juice, forced micturition, and diuretics are not standard treatments for chronic pyelonephritis.
