Infections of kidney in pregnancy - what does this mean

Infections of the kidney in pregnancy can occur due to the increased pressure in the urinary tract caused by the enlarging uterus. this can lead to a blockage of the urinary tract, resulting in bacteria entering the urinary tract and causing infection. in some cases, the infection can spread to the kidneys and cause a more serious infection.

What happens during the disease - infections of kidney in pregnancy

The pathogenesis of kidney infections in pregnancy is often caused by bacteria such as e. coli, klebsiella, and proteus that travel up from the bladder, through the ureters, and into the kidneys. during pregnancy, the uterus can press against the bladder, making it difficult for urine to flow freely and allowing bacteria to travel up the ureters more easily. hormonal changes in pregnancy can also make it easier for bacteria to grow in the urinary tract. other risk factors include a history of urinary tract infections, sexual intercourse, and diabetes.
