Can a uti become a kidney infection while taking antibiotics for a uti?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, if bacteria is resistant to the antibiotic used, the infection can progress and involve the kidney.

Antibiotic treatment for UTI covers the kidneys nearly always so the chances are extremely low.
