10 Causes of Blood Infection (Septicemia)

Kidney Infections

Kidney infections also count as one of the major causes of Septicemia. Kidney infections usually affect the urinary tract, kidney, and gall bladder. The infection can attack both kidneys, which can cause the pathogen to multiply in large numbers. When the bacteria or the pathogen multiplies in large quantities, then you find that the bacteria can enter the bloodstream, thus causing Septicemia. Kidney infection is a dangerous illness that causes pain and different effects on the individual where it can be a chronic illness. Any kidney infection requires urgent treatment before causing Septicemia. [4]
