Kidney infection is a type of ‘urinary tract infection’ (UTI). Kidney infection starts in the body’s ‘urinary tract infection’ (urethra) or the way to the toilet. If this infection is not stopped in time, the infection can reach one or both kidneys. UTI caused by problems like enlargement of prostate gland or kidney stones in men can cause damage to the kidney.
If UTI infection increases, it can take a serious form
If this infection is not treated in time, then this infection can become serious. The symptoms of UTI in small children are such that it starts with high fever. Sometimes it can damage the kidneys if it is not treated immediately. Then it can take a serious form.
When there is a stone in the kidney, the stone starts accumulating in the urinary tract. Which can cause UTI. This is because bacteria can get stuck in the toilet, which hinders defecation and then the bacteria start accumulating.
