bacteriuria

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a condition in which the number of bacteria is greater than usual in urine but no symptoms. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is usually not treated due to eradicate the bacteria can be difficult and infrequent complications. Also, antibiotics can alter the balance of bacteria in the body, sometimes allowing bacteria to flourish more difficult to be eliminated.

Exception if the person has a condition that makes the urinary tract infection really risky. Such conditions may include pregnancy, renal transplantation, using drugs that suppress the immune system, or have conditions that suppress the immune system (eg, AIDS, certain cancers, or have a white blood cell count is low).

For example, bladder infections can seriously complicate pregnancy with increased kidney and cause pyelonephritis infection, causing a miscarriage. Also, urinary tract infection can permanently damage one or both kidneys after renal transplantation.

Urinary tract infections can cause a fatal infection of the blood circulation in people with immune systems suppressed by medications or illness. Sometimes, the immune system becomes depressed after cancer chemotherapy. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is also sometimes treated in people who have certain types of kidney stones that can not be eliminated and lead to recurrence of urinary tract infections.
