Can Recurring UTI Suggest A Kidney Infection?

I had a UTI last month, was cleared, and over the last week have noticed an increase in frequency of urination. I could get up and drink 17 oz of water and need to urinate 2-3 times over the following hour and half ....is this another UTI, should i be concerned about kidney failure?

Hi Dear XXX ! Thank you for posting your questions here.

If you drink a lot of water and go to the bathroom after that ,is a normal reaction to the normal kidney .It does not neccesary say that you have kidney failure or UTI.
Usually the symptoms of UTI are: frequent urination even too little .
-burning during urination.
-pain in your lower abdomen or lower back .
-fever , feeling tired and sleepy

Kidney failure symptoms: Weakness, Nause , lethargy, fast heart beat , problem breathing ,edema , ect.

If you have increase of urination with little urine while you don't drink liquids, do a urine test for a check .

Wish you good health .
If you have any questions please feel free to ask me .
