A member asked:

What can you do to tell the difference between a bladder infection and a uninary tract infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney infection: Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) generally causes fever, chills and very significant flank pain. One generally feels "sick". Bladder infection (cystitis) rarely causes systemic symptoms. Discomfort in the pelvic area and irritative voiding symptoms are typical.
