UrinaryDx_Inflammatory_and_Infective

__**// Inflammatory and Infective //**// **Dx:** //__ // Pathogens may reach the kidneys via the blood or by ascending the ureter from the lower urinary tract. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common of all infections. Important consequences include obstruction and/or vesicoureteric reflux. // // 2 aspects to this relationship. Many renal diseases (chronic pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis and renal artery stenosis) cause hypertension (high blood pressure). But hypertension leads to renal damage and a “vicious” circle is set up. // ||
