Our nephrologists, located throughout the Philadelphia suburbs, will medically manage your kidney conditions and develop a treatment plan based on your specific needs.
A common kidney infection is pyelonephritis, a type of urinary tract infection that affects one or both kidneys. Your urinary tract is your body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water and includes your bladder, ureters, urethra and kidneys.
Most people with kidney infections do not experience complications if treated with antibiotics. However, in some rare cases, kidney infection can result in kidney scars which can lead to chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure and kidney failure. This is more common in people with kidney stones, repeated kidney infections or kidney disease from other causes. Infection in the kidneys can also spread into the bloodstream—a serious condition called sepsis.
