The internal reflux ratio is the ratio of the liquid returned as reflux to the distillate product inside the column, while the external reflux ratio is the ratio of the liquid refluxed back to the column to the distillate product taken out of the column. These ratios are related as the sum of the internal and external reflux ratios is equal to the total reflux ratio, which can affect the separation efficiency and energy consumption in a distillation column.
Acute pyelonephritis is most common in adult females but can affect people of either sex and any age
bacteremia (bacterial invasion of the bloodstream), hypertension, chronic pyelonephritis and even permanent kidney damage.
