The 7 symptoms of chronic pyelonephritis
Chronic pyelonephritis is a type of kidney infection that develops over time and can cause permanent damage to the kidneys if left untreated.
The 7 symptoms may include:
- Back or side pain in the area of the affected kidney
- Fatigue and weakness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Frequent urination or a strong urge to urinate
- Cloudy, dark, bloody, or foul-smelling urine
- High fever or chills

It's important to note that some people may not have any symptoms or have only mild symptoms, so it's important to see a doctor if you suspect you may have a kidney infection.
