Herein, we present a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis with septic shock that was treated conservatively. A 44-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal discomfort. Clinical examination revealed that the patient was conscious but vitally unstable. Therefore, the patient required inotropic support. A computed tomography scan revealed gas in the left kidney, suggestive of emphysematous pyelonephritis. Subsequently, the patient was treated conservatively and stabilized with broad-spectrum antibiotics, strict blood glucose management, and drainage.
