How long until a bladder infection turns into kidney infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Many times an untreated bladder infection will just go away on its own. Of course they usually go away much quicker if treated appropriately. The progression to a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is variable but somewhere around 5% to 20%.
