Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I was wondering if a urinary tract infection can lead to uremia?Doctor's answer:
After active treatment, a urinary tract infection will absolutely not lead to uremia. A urinary tract infection is an inflammation that reappears in the urethra, while uremia represents the late stage of kidney failure. Generally, if you have a urinary tract infection, it is recommended to use some antibiotic medications for treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and urinate more frequently in daily life. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to maintaining good hygiene of the urethra.
