What Is a Kidney Infection?
5. Pregnancy Complications
It is a good idea for pregnant women to get regular check-ups to help identify potential problems early on. It is also a good idea for them to see a doctor as soon as a potential problem is noticed. There are numerous things that can jeopardize a pregnancy, and these include kidney infections.
If a pregnant woman does have an untreated kidney infection then there is a risk that the child will be born underweight. If the condition remains untreated, there is also a chance the fetus can be affected by complications the mother is experiencing. This includes potentially serious complications like sepsis.
