Answers:
A UTI is an urinary tract infection which means it has remained in the "pipes" below the kidneys!. A kidney infection has traveled up those pipes to the kidney!. This usually happens when a UTI is left untreated!. Most people simply have a UTI which will be accompanied by a burning sensation when urinating, a "feeling" like they need to urinate, and often discolored or malodorous urine!. Sometimes cranberry juice or blueberries can help flush it!. A kidney infection is a lot more serious and needs to be treated by antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A kidney infection hurts like buggery!. I think this is when a UTI isn't treated!.
