Kidney infections, or pyelonephritis, are serious urinary tract infections that require prompt antibiotic treatment. Symptoms include flank pain, fever, nausea, and painful urination. Early care through Klarity's telehealth services can ensure effective management.
Kidney infections are bacterial infections that affect one or both kidneys, leading to inflammation and potential complications if not treated promptly. They are often caused by bacteria traveling from the urinary bladder.
Common causes include urinary tract infections, urinary obstructions, and weakened immune systems. Risk factors encompass female gender, recent urinary procedures, and certain chronic conditions.
Symptoms include severe flank pain, high fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and painful urination. Some patients experience malaise and back tenderness, signaling urgent medical evaluation.
Diagnosis involves urinalysis, urine culture, blood tests, and imaging studies like ultrasound. Early diagnosis helps prevent kidney damage and systemic spread of infection.
Most cases are treated with antibiotics prescribed by licensed healthcare providers. Severe infections may require hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics. Follow-up is essential to ensure complete recovery.
Preventive measures include staying well-hydrated, practicing good hygiene, urinating after sexual activity, and addressing urinary tract issues promptly.
