In the year 2016 nationwide were reported 1948 cases of Pyelonephritis of which 311 affected men and 1635 women because they are the most likely to contract this disease and others related to the urinary tract by their urogenital anatomy. Escherichia coli is the main bacterium responsible for most cases of pyelonephritis. The objective of this work was to elaborate the process of nursing care based on critical thinking in the evaluation, diagnosis, planning, execution and evaluation for the decision making in the patient's attention and in turn to relate it with the theory of Marjory Gordon, which makes it possible to evaluate the functional patterns that constitute a fundamental pillar in the identification of the real or potential problems in the individuals. We used a methodology based on the bibliographical research of sources such as the Internet, books, journal articles that were the fundamental basis for obtaining the necessary information in the elaboration of this research work. In conclusion, the action plans developed and applied in the nursing care process of patients with pyelonephritis, will improve their health satisfying their needs and achieving therapeutic success through comprehensive and effective care.
