Hi there, I am a girl who is 18 years old. My grandmother was recently diagnosed with urinary tract infection. She has some kidney problems and because of that I have one question. What are her options and how dangerous this can be? I would like to thank you all in advance for every answer you give me.
Hello there, I will tell you something about urinary tract infection. This infection can affect any part of urinary tract. It can be dangerous because this infection can lead to kidney failure. For the old people the risk may be even greater because of their age. In most cases it can be treated with some oral antibiotics but in some cases intravenous antibiotics should be used. Sometimes further tests like intravenous urography or kidney ultrasound.
