Are there preventative foods for pyelonephritis?

Not effective: However, if you know that pyelonephritis is usually caused by urinary tract infections UTI then things that prevent UTI would prevent pyelonephritis. Cranberry tablets are the closest food related item that have decent evidence in support of preventing uti.
