A member asked:
I've had a bladder infection for almost two weeks now and im taking antibiotics twice a day can this harm my kidneys in any way?

Weird: I am not quite sure if you are taking antibiotics for 2 weeks, usually for uncomplicated UTI the regimen is 3 days, unless you have pyelonephritis, then 7 days; but in any case, the most commonly used antibiotics ideally should not cause any kidney problems.
