Kidney infection treatment, is blood transfusion the best way to go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: Antibiotic is the best treatment for infection ( including kidney infection)- not blood transfusion. If your doctor gave you blood transfusion- likely your doctor has other reason to support decision on transfusion. D/w your md for detail.
