Answer 3

Kidney infections are nearly always a result of a prolonged or very severe bladder infection (UTI). If the bacteria remain in the bladder untreated for long enough, they may spread up the ureters into the kidneys causing full blown polynephritis (kidney infection). Such an infection usually damages the kidneys permanently so it's important for all UTIs to be treated promptly and effectively.

Symptoms of a kidney infection will therefore typically include symptoms of UTI- urgency, frequency of urination, burning urine, also blood in the urine abdominal and back pain, high temperature, sweats and chills.
