PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS:
B/L emphysematous pyelonephritis with aki secondary to sepsis
     With denovo diabetes mellitus
Discussion:
Emphysematous pyelonephritis refers to a morbid infection with particular gas formation within or around the kidneys. If not treated early, it may lead to fulminant sepsis and, therefore, carries a high mortality.
Clinical presentation
The patient usually presents with fevers and flank pain. In diabetics, who are the ones at risk for this condition, leukocytosis and hyperglycemia are prominent laboratory findings. 

Pathology
Etiology
It tends to be more common in females, and approximately 90% of patients have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus 1. It may however also be seen in immunocompromised individuals or associated with urolithiasis, neoplasms, or sloughing of papilla.

Causative organisms include:

Escherichia coli: usually considered the commonest causative organism 3
Klebsiella pneumonia
Proteus mirabilis
