Who treats Kidney & Urine Infections (UTI) in Visakhapatnam?

At MRKC, Visakhapatnam, recurrent urine infections and kidney infections are evaluated by nephrologist Dr. Goli Sri Charan Nivas, including in children, diabetics, pregnant women and kidney transplant patients.

What is Kidney & Urine Infections (UTI)?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the bladder (cystitis) or kidney (pyelonephritis). Bladder infections cause burning and frequent urination; kidney infections cause fever, chills and back pain and can be serious.

Recurrent UTI — two or more in 6 months or three in a year — needs evaluation for causes such as stones, incomplete bladder emptying, diabetes, prostate enlargement, or kidney or bladder abnormalities in children.

Common symptoms

  • Burning or pain while passing urine
  • Frequent, urgent urination
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
  • Blood in urine
  • Fever with chills and back or side pain (kidney infection)
  • In children: fever, poor feeding, irritability

⚠️ See a doctor soon if you notice

Do not wait for your next appointment. For an emergency, go to the nearest hospital.

Tests that help

Not every patient needs every test. The doctor chooses tests based on your symptoms and old reports.

  • Urine routine
  • Urine culture and sensitivity — before antibiotics
  • Serum creatinine
  • Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder with post-void residual
  • Blood sugar
  • Special scans (MCU, DMSA) for children with repeated infections
