KIDNEY URETER Infection

URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI)

The  most  common  route of infection is  via  the  urethra.  The

infection  occurs most often when there is obstruction,  diabetes

or  tumours. The chances are high in case of females,  since  the

urethra  is shorter. In males urinary infection occurs  with  the

onset of age-related hypertrophy of the prostate.

Haematogenous  spread  to the kidney may occur in cases  of  skin

infection, hydronephtrosis and renal stones.

Lymphatic  spread  of infection can also occur  from  the  common

lymphatics of the colon and lower parts of the urinary tracts.
