"Tuberculosis can involve both the renal parenchyma and the collecting system (calyces, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder and urethra) and results in different clinical presentations and radiographic appearances. This article focuses on the renal parenchyma, calyces and renal pelvis. For discussion of lower urinary tract and genital involvement please refer to the article on genitourinary tuberculosis."

"Usually there is a long latency between primary infection and presentation which in most case occurs due to host immunity becoming compromised. These quiescent granulomas then can reactivate, grow and eventually communicate with the calyces, leading to downstream infection."
