Yes they can lead to kidney damage. This is why this is among the few conditions that I believe antibiotics should always be used and fairly quickly.
Infection can reflux up from the bladder via the ureters to the kidney. Here it can cause pyelitis or pyelo-nephritis. This can lead to septicaemia. It can also permanently damage and scar the kidney. If it is severe and frequent enough it can result in renal failure.

Sounds like cystitiis. The common signs and symptoms of a cystitis attack are: a sharp burning, stinging sensation when you pass water an urge to pass water more frequently even though there may be very little to pass a feeling of not emptying your bladder completely . You can get stuff over the counter at the chemist for this, like Canestan Oasis, also drink loads of drinks and cranberry juice. I know it sounds crazy telling you to drink loads when you're already spending a lot of time in the loo but it does help. Any woman can suffer from cystitis but some are more prone to this condition, for example: Younger women (who may be prone to more sexual activity) Pregnant women (whose body changes can make them prone to urinary infections) If you are under 18 - and it sounds as if you are- it is always best to get to the doctors as well in case the infection sets up recurring problems. [ I had a case of it several years ago and was treating it myself but the infection got so back it turned into nephritis - inflamation of the kidneys] which was NOT pleasant. So go and get the stuff, drink loads but definately see the doc early next week.

The following was suggested by my fathers Dr. for his kidney problems. He never had them again.
Go to a Health food store and get a bottle of Unsweetened Cranberry concentrate. Mix 8 ounces with one gallon of water. Drink 6 ounces before every meal and between meals.
This will purge your kidneys of toxins and should resolve the urinary tract infections. I know we never have them. We continue to drink about 4 ounces each morning.
Another URGENT thing to do is to be certain to drink 6 bottles of water a day (we refill ours from the tap.) None of my family has every had urinary problems ever.
Taking antibiotics for everything makes them ineffective and will contribute to your getting a yeast infection. It kills the healthy bacteria.
Good Luck.

Yes,recurrent infections especially to urinary tract may have detrimental effects to your kidney functions. you must consult a nephrologist, a doctor that specializes to diseases of kidney. Recurrent attacks may give an impression of more serious damage to it.. Well, I hope not .. But its the best to see a doctor to know the underlying cause.

Cystitis means inflammation of the bladder. It is usually caused by a urine infection. Some women have recurring bouts of cystitis, defined as two proven infections within six months, or three infections in a year. In many cases there is no apparent cause. Treatment options to consider include treating each episode promptly with a short course of antibiotics; a regular dose of antibiotics taken long-term; a daily dose of cranberry juice; taking a single dose of antibiotic after having sex (if having sex seems to trigger episodes of cystitis).

Obviously your body is telling you something. When we keep getting infections our bodies need a cleanse! First if I were you, I would do a 30 day colon cleanse with a gentle probiotic, and then you can have your wish like many people, Free of infections, and tons of energy. Do a colon cleanse one time per year for sure!

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
