Hi. My father had a kidney infection and two days ago he was diagnosed with a chronic kidney failure. I know diabetes and hypertension can cause chronic renal failure, but what about infection? Do kidney infections lead to kidney failure?

Hi. High blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes of chronic kidney failure. Approximately 2/3 of people diagnosed with chronic renal failure have diabetes or high blood pressure. Other causes of kidney failure are kidney stones and infection, analgesic and reflux nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, obstructive uropathy and Alport syndrome. I have diabetes and I drink plenty of fluids to prevent kidney problems.
