10 Kidney Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #4: Dysuria
Dysuria refers to the burning, stinging, tingling, or feeling of discomfort when urinating. Inflammatory disorders of the urethra and bladder are the commonest causes of dysuria; this includes pyelonephritis.
While dysuria may mean that it is a less significant infection such as a bladder or urethral infection, if you have other symptoms such as fever or tenderness at the renal angle, suspect pyelonephritis and seek medical attention as soon as possible as it can lead to significant renal damage, formation of abscess, sepsis, and kidney failure.
