24 year old Shivangi is a popular name in the entertainment industry with over 7.8 million followers on Instagram.

Shivangi's post on kidney infection during the beginning of summers draws our attention to understanding what causes kidney infection and how to prevent it.

Kidney infection occurs when there is a bacterial infection caused by E.Coli in the urethra. The bacteria enters the body through the urinary tract and reaches the kidneys where it causes the infection.

The common symptoms of kidney infection are pain and discomfort in the lower back, sides below the abdomen and around the genitals. The infected person may also have high body temperature and may also experience shivering and chills. Kidney infection can cause extreme weakness, loss of appetite, and lethargic. In some cases the person also experiences diarrhea.

Why is hydration important?
People who have kidney infection are often advised to drink lots of water regularly because this helps to flush out bacteria from the kidneys.

It is recommended to keep drinking water if one experiences the symptoms until one starts passing pale colored urine unlike dark colored foul smelling urine during the infection.

Prolonged or repeated episodes of dehydration can cause urinary tract infection. Dehydration can also lead to serious kidney ailments like kidney failure.

It is also characterized by a pain or burning sensation while urinating, the urge to urinate frequently, the feeling of not being able to relieve completely, having blood in the urine, foul smelling urine and constant pain in the lower abdomen.
