What is the difference between UTI and kidney infection?
A UTI usually affects the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) causing burning urination and frequency. A kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a more serious upper UTI with fever, flank pain, and chills. Kidney infections need aggressive antibiotic treatment at R.K. Hospital.
Can UTI be treated without antibiotics?
Mild UTIs sometimes resolve with increased water intake, but most UTIs need antibiotics to prevent spread to the kidneys. Self-treating is risky. Visit R.K. Hospital for a urine test and proper prescription.
Why do I keep getting UTIs?
Recurrent UTIs can be caused by incomplete treatment, kidney stones, structural abnormalities, diabetes, or poor hygiene habits. At R.K. Hospital, we investigate the underlying cause with urine culture, ultrasound, and blood tests to prevent recurrence.
What tests are done for kidney infection at R.K. Hospital?
We perform urine routine, urine culture, CBC, kidney function tests (urea, creatinine), and ultrasound KUB. All tests are available in-house with quick turnaround. Call 0755-4260605 for an appointment.
