title: [Can we prevent late complications of urinary tract infections?].
abstract: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common renal diseases sometimes leading to renal injury and in consequence to chronic renal failure. The most frequent causative pathogen responsible for this infection is Escherichia coli. There are several factors which increase the risk of infection including vesicoureteral reflux, cystic renal disease, urinary calculi, obstruction and other anatomical and functional abnormalities of urinary tract as well as neurological bladder dysfunction, long term indwelling catheters, mechanical vaginal diaphragms and intensive sexual intercourse. This paper will highlight general view on the treatment of different manifestations of urinary tract infections including asymptomatic bacteriuria, urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis as well as acute and chronic pyelonephritis. The details of those problems will be elucidated in another paper.
