To define kidney infection, it is the disorder of the kidney caused by infection called glomerulonephritis and bacterial affecting the pelvic of the kidney. Having a kidney infection is something that is dangerous and great threat to one’s health. If infections in the kidney are left untreated, a person can experience blood poisoning, loss of one’s kidney, or worst death. For those who do not regularly experience kidney infection, they can not tell what are its symptoms or if there are symptoms at all they mistake it for another health problem.
Below are some common symptoms of kidney infection:
Burning Feeling During Urination
This symptom can easily be diagnosed as UTI (Urinary Tract Infections) but if in case it is really UTI, it can still lead to kidney infection if left untreated. This burning feeling should not be mistaken for yeast infection, which only has itching and burning sensation as symptoms. When one’s kidney is infected, this burning feeling during urination is so great that one will endure it with tears in one’s eyes.
Pain in Lower Back and Around the Waist
Sometimes this pain can be likened to a dull ache. Then it could be like short stabbing pain. One will feel as if his lower back and waist is being pummeled repeatedly without mercy. Just to make sure there is great probability that it is kidney infection, one should observe if there is any pain concentrated to the small corner of the lower back.
Fatigue
Fatigue is one common signs of many illnesses. But if one suffers kidney infection, one will feel this symptom in a sudden. If one is full of energy then suddenly like light being switched off will feel fatigue, there is great possibility that one is already infected in his kidney.
