Kidney Stones
Kidney stones can be a significant risk factor for the development of urinary tract infections. They are mineral deposits that form within the membrane of the kidneys. Because kidney stones can obstruct the lumen of the urinary tract, they induce urine regurgitation. They can cause UTI by providing a safe environment and ample time for bacterial growth. In addition, a delayed diagnosis or treatment for a urinary tract infection can result in kidney injury. Consequently, if you experience any of the common symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI), you must seek medical attention immediately.
