Different Stages of Kidney Infections
Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine on September 17th, 2009
Kidney infection is a bacterial disease which is caused due to e-coli bacterium. The bacterium enters inside the urinary tract from the urethra or through blood streams. The condition is accompanied by high fever, back pain as well as symptoms of bladder infections. It occurs when you reject the symptoms of bladder infections as minor ailments.
The infection leads to inflammation of kidneys, which is accompanied by kidney scarring and tissue damage. The condition can be overcome by antibiotic treatment. However, it can lead to kidney damage under some circumstances. Sometimes, the kidneys stop completely and this condition is termed as renal failure. Hence, the patient needs to undergo a dialysis or kidney transplant.
There are different stages of kidney infections like:
1. Acute Pyelonephritis: This is the initial stage of infection that can be treated with help of antibiotic or herbal medicines.
2. Chronic Pyelonephritis: This active kidney infection has severe symptoms that aggravates to uncontrollable levels and damage the urinary parts.
3. Emphysematous Pyelonephritis: This condition occurs among people with diabetic infections. This acute infection is characterized by presence of gas molecules near the kidneys and surrounding area.
4. Pyonephrosis: This urinary tract condition leads to blockage of ureters. Hence, it is unable to transfer the urine from the kidney to urinary bladder. Thus, it interrupts the functioning of urinary system and leads to severe health hazards.
5. Renal abscesses: During this stage of kidney infection, you can notice chunks of pus near the kidney area. Sometimes, the kidney shutdowns completely leading to renal failure.
Hence, a patient suffering from the upper urinary tract infection can face the above consequences. The condition is highly prevalent among women due to shorter urethra. Some men get inflicted with the disease during old age due to use of bladder catheter and urinary abnormalities.
So, undergo proper treatment so that the infection does not build up to uncontrollable levels.
