Most patients were middle-aged women with diabetes who presented with fever and flank pain. The mean abscess size was 3.6 cm. Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen. All 49 patients with abscesses ≤5 cm were successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics alone over 2-6 weeks without complications, except one recurrent infection. Abscess size, age, and diabetes predicted longer hospital stays. Conservative treatment was effective for medium and small renal abscesses.
