    Hello Friend,<\/p>\n

    The secret is teamwork!<\/em><\/p>\n

    Sometimes destiny is not always on our side. Still, collaboration and mutual confrontation can allow us to reach new awareness and confidence that we perhaps did not think we possessed before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Together and supporting each other, I will explain how cystitis can lead to upper urinary tract infection complications.<\/em><\/p>\n

    We’ll make it through this one too, and if you have any needs, you can always write to me<\/a>. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

    1. Upper urinary tract infections: what they are<\/h2>\n

    Our body never ceases to amaze us, both positively and negatively: in addition to cystitis, some complications can affect the upper urinary tract.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Always remember: <\/em>the secret is teamwork.<\/em> \u2764\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To give you a little more clarity right away, the most common urinary tract infection is the one that causes cystitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    It is a type of infection that affects the lower part of the urinary tract:<\/strong> the bladder<\/a> and the urethra (the channel that carries urine from the bladder to the outside).<\/p>\n

    However, suppose these are not treated properly. In that case, they can expand to the upper urinary<\/strong> tract, involving the ureters (the ducts that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder) and the kidneys. \ud83d\udc48<\/p>\n

    And this is, unfortunately, where we talk about upper urinary tract infections.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The upper urinary tract infection leads to the so-called Pyelonephritis<\/strong>: an inflammation that usually involves the kidneys (the two small organs that produce urine) and the renal pelvis (the basin in which the urine produced is collected and then transported to the ureters and bladder).<\/p>\n

    Pyelonephritis is usually caused by the now well-known and under-appreciated bacterium, Escherichia Coli<\/a>, found in our intestine, and often depends on the neglect of a lower urinary tract infection that travels up to the kidneys.\ud83d\ude26<\/p>\n

    Other factors can contribute to developing this type of infection, such as:<\/p>\n
