A member asked:
I have a kidney infection and this is the fourth one in the past 4 years same kidney. should i be worried?

Repeat renal infect: You should see a urologist to see if you have an obstruction of your urinary outflow tract. If one is found by doing a renal ultrasound and possibly an x-ray exam of your kidneys, it may be able to be corrected and you may be able to stop these kidney infections from recurring. See a urologist and good luck.
