Can an Infection Damage Your Kidneys?
The Answer: Yes, absolutely.
While minor infections are usually harmless, severe or untreated infections can cause serious damage to your kidneys.
1: Urinary Tract Infections : If untreated, bacteria can travel up to the kidneys, causing Pyelonephritis (kidney infection), which can lead to permanent scarring.
2: Sepsis: A severe infection anywhere in the body can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to Acute Kidney Injury.
