Kidney Infections & UTI
Expert diagnosis, treatment, and long-term prevention strategies for severe kidney infections and chronic UTIs.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are incredibly common, but when an infection travels up the urinary tract and reaches the kidneys (Pyelonephritis), it becomes a serious medical condition.
Kidney infections require prompt medical attention. If left untreated, they can cause permanent kidney damage or spread to the bloodstream, causing a life-threatening infection.
Dr. Chugh provides acute treatment for severe infections and investigates the root cause of recurrent UTIs to provide long-term preventative care.
