Symptomatic Variations in Kidney Infections

Kidney is the most powerful and natural vital filter in humans. Weighing in at just about 200 grams each, they filter about a ton of blood, purifying it of harmful impurities from the body and putting more than fifty tons of unnecessary fluid. At the slightest organism's infection first line of attack is the kidney, trying to withdraw away uninvited guests. Kidney infection affects children and adults, men and women. But still women are affected more frequently than others. And this is connected with the peculiarities of anatomical structure. The length of the urethra (urinary canal) in men is about 20 centimeters and in women only 2.5. The proximity of the urethra to the vagina and anus makes urinary tract more susceptible to infections in females.

Acute Kidney infection is characterized by a sudden onset leading to a rise in body temperature, increasing toxin accumulation. It is usually begins with severe, often unilateral pain on either side of low back area. In some cases, pain may be localized in one of the flanks of the lower abdomen and to give (irradiate) in the groin. Sometimes, abdominal cramps may also occur. A person may experience episodes of intense pain (renal colic), caused by spasm of either urethra. Cramps occur because of inflammation caused by infection and it is actually a strong stimulus for the passage of kidney stones. The pain is often combined with fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. About a third of people with the disease and symptoms of Kidney infection in the lower part of the urinary tract complain of Dysuria.
