How long would it take for a kidney infection to get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No time frame: There is no time frame for worsening of renal function. There are factors ( like diabetes, high blood pressure and urine infections) which hasten the process. However if you can control above factors ( which you may not be able to do all the time), the decline in renal function can be slowed down till eternity
