As the name implies, kidney infection is a kidney-related problem that is called Pyelonephritis. It is a bacterial infection that may take place in one or both the kidneys. This infection affects the functionality of the kidneys that cause several problems. Kidneys are a pair of major organs in the human body that do several tasks for the smooth functioning of the body which ultimately leads to good health. Kidney treatment in Ayurveda can set you free from any infection in your kidneys or other urinary tract section.
Kidney infection is a severe disease that may cause:
- Permanent kidney damage
- Severe infection in the whole body by entering the bloodstream
- A pregnant woman to go into labor prematurely
Though any person can develop kidney infection, it is more common in women as compared to men.
What are the causes of kidney infection?
Generally, kidney infection starts in the bladder or urethra- a type of tube that passes urine out of the bladder. A bladder infection can take place if bacteria enter into urethra and bladder through the private parts. From the bladder, the bacteria can travel to the kidneys. In men, this infection can start sometimes because of prostate infection. While any other infection in the body can cause kidney infection as well. In some rare cases, it is found that a person is at a higher risk of spreading bladder infection to kidneys if his urinary system is abnormal.
