A member asked:

I have an enlarged fatty liver, enlarged spleen, & 2nd stage kidney disease & i need to know if any one of those would cause a uti & an ear infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not per se: The conditions you described do not cause UTI by themselves. You should be under the care of a doctor to manage these illnesses so that you may prevent deterioration of liver and kidney function.
