Kidney infections are called pyelonephritis. They are a serious urinary tract infection that spreads to the kidneys and are usually caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli. It may be acute or chronic. Symptoms include fever, chills, pain in the back or abdomen, nausea, vomiting, burning when urinating, cloudy or smelly urine, and in severe cases, confusion. It is very important to treat them quickly to avoid complications such as kidney damage or sepsis. Treatment usually involves antibiotics and in severe situations, hospitalization. Prevention of urinary infections and early treatment are essential to avoid pyelonephritis. In this video I delve into all these points.
