Urinary Tract Infections, commonly known as UTIs are more common than we would like to believe. These are mostly caused by E.coli that is released from the body with feces. When women use infected washrooms, have diabetes or sometimes engage in sexual activities, they can get an infection in the urethra, resulting in Urinary Tract Infections. These infections, which are common, especially in women, can easily be treated with anti-biotics. However, if left untreated, they could result in various complications, the worst being the infection spreading to the kidneys.Pyelonephritis refers to an infection caused either by an untreated Urinary Tract Infection or through the bloodstream. This is a serious disease, which if left untreated could lead to kidney failure or prove fatal for the patient. Some of the symptoms of the disease include: fever, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, painful urination, shivering, nausea etc.
Amrita Ghei, a resident of Delhi had recently married, Amitabh Majoomdar, her friend from college. While on her honeymoon in Malaysia, Amrita felt some discomfort while urinating but chose to not share with her husband. After she came to her husband's ancestral house to spend sometime with his family in Kolkata, the abdominal pain increased and Amrita soon was in unbearable pain along with high fever. When the family doctor was called to check on her, he suspected that Amrita had a serious UTI and advised them to see a kidney specialist.
Without wasting anymore time, Amitabh called up Credihealth and asked us to find a best nephrologist in kolkata. We booked an appointment for him with the best doctor in his area and his wife started with treatment immediately.
