🩺 KIDNEY INFECTION (Pyelonephritis): What You Should Know

🚨 Kidney infection, also known as Pyelonephritis, is a serious type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that affects one or both kidneys. If not treated early, it can lead to severe complications.

⚠️ Common Symptoms

• High fever 🌡️

• Pain in the back or side (flank pain)

• Frequent urination

• Burning sensation when passing urine

• Nausea and vomiting

• Weakness and fatigue

🦠 Causes

Kidney infections usually start as a lower urinary tract infection (bladder infection) and spread upward to the kidneys.
Common causes include:

• Bacteria (especially E. coli)

• Poor hygiene

• Holding urine for too long

• Weak immune system

👥 Who Is at Risk?

• Women (due to shorter urethra)

• Pregnant women 🤰

• People with diabetes

• Individuals with urinary obstruction (stones, enlarged prostate)

🧪 Diagnosis

• Urine test (urinalysis & culture)

• Blood tests

• Ultrasound or CT scan (in severe cases)

💊 Treatment

• Antibiotics (very important—complete your dose!)

• Pain relief medications

• Adequate hydration 💧

• Hospital admission in severe cases

🚫 Complications (If Untreated)

• Kidney damage

• Sepsis (life-threatening infection)

• Recurrent infections

✅ Prevention Tips

• Drink plenty of water daily 💧

• Don’t hold urine for long

• Maintain good personal hygiene

• Treat UTIs early

• Urinate after sexual activity

📢 Final Advice

If you notice symptoms of a kidney infection, don’t ignore it. Early treatment saves lives and prevents kidney damage.

👉 Visit a healthcare facility immediately if symptoms worsen.
