10 Kidney Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Nausea and Vomiting
While nausea and vomiting can vary in intensity, ranging from absent to severe, it can be seen in patients with pyelonephritis. Both nausea and vomiting are non-specific symptoms that are controlled by the autonomic nervous system in the brain and is therefore involuntary.
When you are in extreme pain the nervous system is stimulated. In pyelonephritis, the pain in the affected kidney is a visceral pain that is deep, systemic, and sickening and therefore commonly causes nausea.
