The Doctor's Mailbag Kidney Infections Advice
A reader asks about recurrent kidney infections and causes. Kidney infections arise from bacteria or fungi reaching the kidneys or traveling up from the urethra, often spreading within the urinary tract. Resistance can develop to antibiotics like streptomycin, so doctors must remove contributing factors such as diabetes or urinary obstructions and adjust treatment as needed. A second reader query on cylindrical casts and albumin in urine clarifies Bright's disease as an old term for kidney conditions. modern terminology notes kidney disease with albuminuria and edema, with Bright's disease no longer used. Private Jimmie R. Stover, a rifleman in the 31st Infantry, entered service in 1964, trained at Fort Jackson, and deployed overseas in November, with maneuvers emphasizing defensive operations and reconfirming preparedness.
