subject: Ecoli Infection Symptoms And Treatment [print this page] Kidneys that play a vital role in the urinary system of the human body are located under the diaphragm and near the lower back. Each kidney is connected to the urinary bladder via ureters that transfers the filtered urine into the urinary bladder. Finally, the urine is excreted out of the body through urethra. Kidneys are primarily responsible for maintaining proper concentration of electrolytes inside the body. Kidney also maintains the blood pressure and contributes towards production of red blood cells (RBCs). Hence, any type of kidney infection can hamper the excretory system of the body.
The kidney infection occurs due to attack of Escherichia coli bacteria on the urinary bladder. Initially, it leads to a bladder infection but the bacterium moves to the kidneys during later stages. This occurs due to patient's negligence in proper diagnosis and treatment of the urinary tract infection. Women are five times more prone to be infected with such kidney infections. Expecially, the pregnant women are most vulnerable to these infections, because of the drastic changes in the body hormones which make the urinary tract vulnerable to urinary infections.
The kidney infections can be categorized into uncomplicated and complicated infections.
1. In the case of complicated infections, you can notice gas or puss inside the kidneys during the CT scan. This is an adverse condition that is hard to heal through general treatment methods.
2. The uncomplicated or chronic upper urinary tract infection leads to recurrent infliction inside the kidneys. This occurs due to presence of kidney stones that stop the emptying of the urinary bladder. This chronic kidney infection can be easily treated through antibiotics.
