Kidney infection often comes within few hours. Usually you feel feverish, shivery, and have pain in your back or side. Another sign is trouble peeing and pain when peeing.
Kidney infection means that you have a microorganism causing an infection in your kidneys. The infection could be bacterial, viral, or fungal and parasite. Kidney pain is usually in the back near the kidneys, either in the right or left side. Pain in urination can be a kidney infection or UTI. Urinary Tract Infection is UTI. When bacteria get to the kidneys is done though the Urinary tract system. The infection is in the kidneys when you start having lower back pain, fever, chills, or pain while urinating. Thank you.
