You have pyelonephritis and, in this particular case, in addition to renal dysfunction, the poor filtration, reabsorption, and/or secretion are indirectly causing a number of digestive—and other systemic—problems.
pyelonephritis has resulted in renal insensitivity to aldosterone. Explain the impact of this change on each of the following.
2.1. local renal physiology
2.2. nutrient absorption in the duodenum
2.1) Pyelonephritis is inflammation of the kidney, typically due to a bacterial infection. Symptoms most often include fever and flank tenderness. Other symptoms may include nausea, burning with urination, and frequent urination. Complications may include pus around the kidney, sepsis, or kidney failure.
Although the urinary system is designed to keep bacteria out, problems can occur. Escherichia coli (E. coli) or other bacteria found in the intestines can enter the urinary tract through the urethra. These bacteria can travel up into the bladder. When this happens it can cause cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). It can also cause a urinary tract infection (UTI). Cystitis occurs in 1-3% of adult women per year. If the infection continues up to the kidneys, it can cause kidney infection. This problem is rare but it can be severe. About 1 in every 30 cases of UTI leads to a kidney infection.
You are more likely to get a kidney infection if you have frequent bladder infections or have a structural problem in the urinary tract. Urine normally flows only in one direction—from the kidneys to the bladder. If the flow of urine is blocked or flows in the wrong direction, infections can happen. Urine flow can be blocked by many things, including:
People with diabetes or a weak immune system are at high risk for infections. Pregnant women with UTIs should be seen by their health care provider and treated as soon as possible. A kidney infection in a pregnant woman can be very serious.

You have pyelonephritis and, in your particular case, in addition to renal dysfunction, the poor filtration, reabsorption, and/or secretion are indirectly causing a number of digestive—and other systemic—problems. 1. One of the major systemic consequences of this infection is a global shift in the balance of autonomic tone in favour of sympathetic. Explain the local and systemic physiological consequences of this shift with regard to its influence on each of the following. 1.1. micturition and the gut-brain axis
