Will I Always Have Fever With Pyloneohritis?

Yes, I have had pyloneohritis several times years ago. I now have a kidney infection with the bacteria that can cause it. I have had problems for several weeks because of back problems that I believe have masked the symptoms. So you always have fever with it?

Hello,
Fever is not a disease but a natural defense mechanism of our body in response to any infection.So fever is an indicator of infection. Pyelonephritis means infection somewhere in the kidney.If you had correct treatment for that and infection subsided then there will be no fever.Fever can occur due to any infection in the body so lets have a complete chekup at your physician to know the cause of fever and subsequent treatment of the underlying infection.Take care.Hope this helps.
Thank you.
