Antibiotics for kidney disease

Diseases of the internal organs of the small pelvis are accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the lower abdomen. Only a urologist is able to prescribe effective antibiotics for kidney disease, which will effectively help each individual patient. Therefore, if you find symptoms of inflammation, do not delay going to the doctor. Indeed, during periods of seasonal cooling in the body, diseases and inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs become aggravated. The most common ailments are:

• pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidneys);
• cystitis (inflammatory processes of the bladder);
• urethritis (urinary tract disease).

Is it dangerous to take antibiotics to treat kidney disease?

It is not advisable to self-medicate with these problems, they can progress and develop into chronic forms, or cause various complications in the kidneys or bladder (for example, enuresis). When characteristic symptoms are found, you should immediately consult a urologist. He directs the patient for diagnosis and, based on the results, prescribes an effective course of treatment. Doctors always resort to the help of antibacterial agents. Despite the negative impact of antibiotics on the body (violation of microflora, kidney failure), they are able to cure inflammation in a short time.

After antibiotics, the work of the intestinal microflora is disrupted, therefore, at the end of therapy, urologists recommend a course of restoration of the body with probiotics (means based on herbal components).

It is worth noting that antibacterial agents are not a panacea for pain in the kidneys; tablets are used in combination for treatment. Modern medicine provides a wide range of drugs for the kidneys, whose action is aimed at combating the symptoms and the individual causative agent of the disease. To eliminate the symptoms, antispasmodics are taken, to relieve inflammation - anti-inflammatory drugs, to lower the temperature - antipyretic drugs.

What antibiotics are most commonly prescribed by doctors for kidney disease? There are several groups of drugs whose action is concentrated on the suppression of a particular bacterium. There are 6 groups in total:

• antibiotics of the aminopenicillin group;
• cephalosporins;
• fluoroquinolones;
• aminoglycosides;
• carbamazepines;
• macrolides.
