Urinary Tract Infections

What is a UTI?

A UTI (urinary tract infection) is usually a bacterial infection of the urinary system. Often, UTIs involve the bladder and urethra, but occasionally, the infection can spread upward to the kidneys and into the bloodstream, becoming more serious.

Causes
  • UTIs are more common in young women due to a shorter urethra that is closer to the rectum than in men. This proximity is also why sexual intercourse can increase the UTI risk in women.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM)
  • Obstruction along the urinary tract: kidney stones, enlarged prostate, congenital structural problems of the urinary system
  • Poor bladder contraction
Symptoms

Urinary tract infections may present with the following symptoms:

  • Burning or pain with urination
  • Frequent urination
  • Blood in the urine
  • Cloudy appearing urine
  • Foul odor to urine
  • Fevers, chills, nausea/vomiting – these symptoms are more likely to occur when the infection involves the kidneys
Diagnosis

Simple urine tests, including a urine routine and urine culture, are required to diagnose a UTI. Occasionally, in more severe or recurrent cases, an ultrasound of the abdomen/pelvis or a CT scan may be required.

Treatment

A simple UTI can be treated with an oral antibiotic course. It is important to check the urine culture before starting antibiotics so that the doctor knows which antibiotics will work against the bacteria.

In the case of a severe kidney-level UTI (referred to as pyelonephritis), treatment may involve IV antibiotics and a procedure with the urologist to help clear the infection.

I would have given 10 stars to Dr Pallavi. Both me and my wife have been patients of Dr. Pallavi for more than 6 years now. She supported us throughout—before, during, and after our transplant. Dr. Pallavi has been much more than a doctor to both of us, probably a "health mentor" through all these years. While Dr. is excellent from a clinical standpoint, more impressive is her ability to listen to the patient and engage in a very pleasant and positive conversation to ensure that the (already tense) patient is at ease. I have personally seen her nephrology department grow in the hospital. All the best, Doc.............you are doing a wonderful job.
