15 Signs & Symptoms of Kidney Infection

Fatigue

When kidney infection occurs, your body will produce some inflammatory substances as a response to the condition. This eventually makes you feel weak and tired. Also, weakened kidneys might reduce the levels of erythropoietin, a hormone that is responsible for carrying oxygen in your red blood cells. Thus, your brain and muscles won’t have sufficient energy and nutrients to operate as usual. Unlike normal tiredness, you won’t feel better even after a good sleep at night or extended rest during the day. [3]
