Urinary Tract Infection
Urinary tract infections are a serious health problem affecting millions of
people each year. Infections of the urinary tract are common—only respiratory
infections occur more often. In 1997, urinary tract infections (UTIs) accounted
for about 8.3 million doctor visits.* Women are especially prone to UTIs for
reasons that are poorly understood. One woman in five develops a UTI during her
lifetime. UTIs in men are not so common, but they can be very serious when they
do occur.*Ambulatory Care Visits to Physician Offices, Hospital Outpatient
Departments, and Emergency Departments: United States, 1997. Vital and Health
Statistics. Series 13, No. 143. Atlanta, GA: National Center for Health
Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Dept. of Health and
Human Services; November 1999.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) can be classified as lower urinary tract
infection and upper urinary tract infection. Lower UTI involves bladder/prostate
and urethra. Upper UTI involves parts of kidney also known as pyelonephritis.
Recurrent pyelonephritis invariably leads to some form of kidney damage and may
culminate in varying degrees of kidney failure. Individuals susceptible to
pyelonephritis include diabetics, elderly and those with kidney stones. Lower
UTI generally doesn't result in kidney failure. Recurrent lower UTI especially
in case of reflux disease (due to back-leak of urine) and enlarged prostate can
result in pyelonephritits and thus result in kidney failure. Other than UTI,
some of the most common causes of kidney failure include diabetes, hypertension,
dehydration, blood borne infections or sepsis, variety of medications, certain
herbal medications and immunological diseases like lupus.
I believe you must get the answer form above information. And there are a lot
