Question 5

will a uti hurt my kidney?

Accepted Answer

It may spread .: Most bladder infections do not spread but they certainly can. If the opening to the tube that ascends to the kidneys is leaking then bacteria can move up to the kidneys. This can result in total loss of function of 1 or even 2 kidneys. It is not unusual, especially in the elderly, for a UTI infection to spread to the blood causing extreme mental confusion and a listless state needing hospital.

Question 6

how can a uti effect your kidney

Accepted Answer

Depends: Some   bladder infections  if left untreated   may " ascend" to  the   kidney.  This  may cause   a severe  infection of  the  kidney which  can  cause  pain  fever and  damage to  the kidney.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

UTI: Highly unlikely that you will get UTI from a partner with kidney disease.  Cannot even think of a way in which this could happen.

Question 8

how do you know if your uti is more serious, or has gone to your kidney?

Accepted Answer

Loin pain, fever: Fever, chills, loin pain added to an established UTI suggest progression to kidney infection.

Question 9

how long is it supposed to it take an untreated uti to spread to your kidney?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Depends upon presence or absence of bladder reflux, inborn protective kidney mechanism to prevent intra-renal reflux & type of bacteria. Also upon body's infection control mechanisms. Can be within hours if with bladder reflux and bad bacterial type. Conversely some bladder infections will never spread to kidney. In between from 24 hrs to many days or even weeks depending upon conditions.

Question 10

how do i know if i have a uti or something and my kidney breaks down. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

UTI: The best way to diagnose a UTI or kidney issues is to get a urinalysis done at your doctor's office.  Also getting a basic metabolic panel will show what is going on with your kidney function.
