Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out that I have a urinary tract infection. I feel very sad and want to know if a urinary tract infection can lead to uremia?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infection, if left untreated for a long time, can easily lead to pyelonephritis. If it persists for a long period, it may eventually result in uremia, causing significant harm to the body. Therefore, it is crucial to actively treat urinary tract infections. For mild cases, levofloxacin tablets can be taken to clear heat and detoxify. If the condition is severe, it will be necessary to use intravenous infusion with two or more antibiotics to control the disease and prevent the potential recurrence of uremia in the future.
