A UTI is an infection in the urinary tract. Infections are caused by microbes—organisms too small to be seen without a microscope. Bacteria* are the most common cause of UTIs. Normally, bacteria that enter the urinary tract are quickly removed by the body before they cause symptoms. But sometimes bacteria overcome the body’s natural defenses and cause infection.Most UTIs are not serious, but some infections can lead to serious problems. Chronic kidney infections—infections that recur or last a long time—can cause permanent damage, including kidney scars, poor kidney function, high blood pressure, and other problems. Some acute kidney infections—infections that develop suddenly—can be life threatening, especially if the bacteria enter the bloodstream, a condition called septicemia.

You should see your health care provider if you have any of these signs or symptoms:

• a burning feeling when you urinate
• frequent or intense urges to urinate, even when you have little urine to pass
• pain in your back or side below the ribs
• cloudy, dark, bloody, or foul-smelling urine
• fever or chills .....culled
