What if I don't get treated for my UTI symptoms?
Untreated UTIs can damage the kidneys and leave permanent scarring, which can leave a person less able to clean waste products from the blood. Fortunately, the kidneys have a great deal of reserve capacity. But they can lose some of that capacity after repeated infections that are not fully treated. For this reason it is essential to treat every infection and to make sure it doesn't come back. Learn more when you talk to your doctor.
