title: The Bristol Pyelonephritis Registry: 10 years on.
abstract: The reasons for the initiation and the basic structure of the Bristol Pyelonephritis Registry have been discussed. The detailed follow-up data on those patients clinically at "renal risk" has been noted, with a demonstrably low incidence of proven bacterial infection, no radiological progression and minimal interference with pregnancy. Satisfactory and reassuring information has thus accrued for the first time in a particular group of patients with often severe recurrent symptoms.
