What Are The Symptoms For A Kidney Infection?
Symptoms of a kidney infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Kidney infections can vary from mild to a possible severe life threatening one.
Symptoms of kidney infection include one or more of the following.
1. Fever
2. Back, side (flank) or groin pain
3. Abdominal pain
4. Frequent urination
5. Strong, persistent urge to urinate
6. Burning sensation or pain when urinating
7. Pus or blood in your urine (hematuria)
8. Urine that smells bad or is cloudy
Stone in the kidneys and gall bladder or degenerative changes in the spine may cause the sort of pain you might be experiencing.
At your age, any pain in abdomen may require an ultrasound scan of the abdomen followed by discussion with your doctor, to make certain its not something which needs immediate attention. Should you feel that the above symptoms are appearing in the near future, please do not hesitate to consult a urologist.
Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
