Question: Is there anything a UTI can lead to?
Answers:

Yes, untreated UTI's can migrate further up the urinary tract into the kidney causing infection and even renal failure.

While this is uncommon in healthy individuals it does claim a significant number of immuno-compromised patients especially the very old.

Cranberry juice is an effective method of reducing the length and severity of UTI's as it decreases bacterial binding in the urinary tract reducing their ability to colonise.
