Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that untreated urinary tract infections can spread to the kidneys?

Yes. Two sources state directly that untreated urinary tract infections can ascend to the kidneys and cause renal damage or pyelonephritis; other sources describe untreated UTI complications such as kidney infection in pregnancy or progression to bacteremia and urosepsis.
