With kidney disease, a UTI is something to take seriously and act on quickly, as infections can put extra stress on already vulnerable kidneys.
Here's a simple guide on who to contact:
- Primary care doctor — They are your first stop for a suspected UTI. They can test your urine, confirm the infection, and prescribe the right antibiotic safely for your kidneys.
- Nephrologist (kidney doctor) — Contact them too, especially if you already have reduced kidney function, as some antibiotics can be harder on the kidneys and your nephrologist may need to be involved in choosing the safest treatment.
If you have a fever, back or side pain, nausea, or feel very unwell, seek urgent care right away as the infection may have reached the kidneys. The safest approach is to call both offices today and let them know about your symptoms. Your primary care doctor can act fast, while keeping your nephrologist in the loop ensures your kidney health stays protected throughout treatment. Don't wait on this one! 🏃
