kidney infection location

ive been put on antibiotics for uti ubtil i gwt my results but im worried its a kidney infection...I knew kidney infections can be deadly in pregnancy...is this true? Im freaking out...

However flank pain can be caused from kidney stones, kidney infections, a kidney abscess or disease, arthritis of the spine, disc problems and as said earlier, muscle spasms. There are also other causes of flank pain...often other conditions can produce referred pain to the flank. Meaning the pain is actually being produced in one location but felt in another. I would return to your PCP and investigate possible kidney issues....

m figuring that kidney stones take a while to form and that, if I have kidney stones and possibly an infection, it's likely that I had the kidney stones first and they contributed to the infection, rather that having an infection first that contributed to the kidney stones (sorry if this sounds confusing).

Will it harm my baby at all?

If you have a fever I would be concerned about infection in the kidney, called 'pyelonephritis'; such infection can be a progression from a bladder infection that is insufficiently treated, or can be caused by an obstructed ureter-- for example from a stone in the tube that goes from the kidney to the bladder. This type of infection can be very serious, and requires IV antibiotics for treatment.

Are gall bladder and kidney damage associated with Hep C infection? If so, please explain the relationship and possible effects.

Went in for a CT Scan and they found a stone in my right kidney also a cyst on left kidney lower pole. Should I be concerned. I always have the urge to go but was given antibiotics for an infection. The urge is a little better but I still have this weird sensation near bladder.

It seems my sister had a severe kidney infection that became sepsis. Luckily her doctors got her on the right medication and it is now under control. She will still have to have her kidney stone removed but that will come in a couple of weeks. Once again thank you for your help.

So today all of a sudden I had a very sharp pain in my left back . I got really nauseas when it happened and could hardly breathe. It lasted for about 20 min and then for the rest of the day whenever I breathed deeply there was pain in the same spot. I was swimming at the time and luckily was in shallow water but I don't think it was a swimming cramp like people get in their legs but I could be wrong. My mom thinks its my kidney because I've had an infection before but I'm not sure.

whe a kidney stone is stuck in a ureter tube and is not allowing fluid to pass from the kidney to the bladder why would you put a stent in the uterer tube instead of removing the kidney stone???

Apparently she also had kidney stone which complicated with urinary tract infection. The UTI ascended to genital area and triggered the discharge (genital infection). Have you checked for it? If you really want to rule out infection, then undergo a vaginal/cervical culture or urine culture. Wearing tight pants and female napkins everyday can trigger discharge, but rarely odorous.

because this is where your kidneys are, and this location of pain suggests kidney infection, but you will also probably feel nausea brought on by the kidney pain. The pain was so bad i could not sleep at night the first time i felt it and went to doctor right away. He did an examination and a few tests, for example asking me to go into a certain position and asking if it was painful, and putting pressure in different places and again asking about pain.

Hey all, I have had three kidney stones in my life, and occasionally, say thrice a year -- my kidney(s) (usually one at a time) will ache, and I get a nasty stinging in the end of my genital area. I have no blood in my urine, and was wondering if this was maybe a minor kidney infection. The stinging does not occur when urinating, but rather when I'm just sitting idly. I was also wondering if maybe the stinging was cause by very tiny kidney stones passing?

I have had a large kidney stone that was first noticed about 7 years ago - at the time it was about 5mm. It has now grown to 11mm and is in the same location. However, about a year ago (stone was about 9mm), I started noticing blood in my urine. I went through some tests - had an ultrasound, CT, x-ray and blood work and the urologist I had at the time thought it was the stone causing the blood even though at the time, I didn't have any pain and it wasn't trying to pass.

It could be as simple as a pulled muscle which can be very painful especially in the intercostal regions of the ribs, but it could be anything from pulled muscle, spleen, Kidney issues (kidney stones, kidney infection, kidney calcification or even kidney failure being absolute worst case scenario) so dont be alarmed at thes but you should look for signs and symptoms like, low grade to high fever 99-101+, how many days has this been going on, does it hurt more if you press down or let go, Does it

Mostly ectopic kidney do not pose any problem but if the kidney is enlarged then polycystic kidney needs to be ruled out. It is a hereditary disease in which a large number of cysts grow within the kidney. I suggest your girlfriend to consult a urologist for immediate review and further investigations. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Anyone here had a kidney infection before? What helps for pain? And how long does the pain normally last??

Has anyone ever had a kidney infection while pregnant... if so what are some signs?

So i have a kidney infection. They gave me eds for 14 days. If this dorsnt work she said i would be put into the hospital. I am totally freaking out and my back is still hurting. I am 26 weeks and 2 days. Any ideas on what i should do to help prevent the hospital?! Is cranberry juice good to dribk and water?!

Yes any type of infection can hurt the baby if not treated u really need to go to ur Ob/gyn and get checked to find out what u have and get treated

I ended up in even more pain Saturday evening and they admitted me and finally realized it was a kidney infection. I spent from Saturday night until Wednesday afternoon. I was on iv antibiotics and iv fluids the whole time. I was discharged with instructions for modified bed rest and had to take macrobid the rest of my pregnancy to avoid it reoccurring. I ended up having my son at 35 weeks.

I have looked at symptoms of kidney infection and the only part that fits is the throbbing back pain. No fever, no nausea or vomiting, chills. I am fatigued, but I haven't been sleeping well because if the throbbing pain. I have been drinking plenty of fluids, cranberry juice and lots of water. I hate to waste the money on another doctor visit if they are just going to give me a muscle relaxer for back pain.

A kidney infection is just the result of an untreated bladder infection. I had a kidney infection two years ago and it was awful. The medication you get should knock it out if it is an infection, or stronger ones if it doesn't work.

I never had a kidney infection but at 29 weeks I had kidney stones that caused my urine to be pure blood and contractions that required magnesium to stop. I would go in just in case.
