A member asked:
Is urinary infection a serious or even life threatening disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: It can be if it extends beyond the bladder and into the kidneys, or if it results in urosepsis (bacteria from the infection entering the bloodstream). This is more likely to occur in the elderly or immunosuppressed.
