Urinary Tract Infection Treatment Clinical Trials

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra.

 

UTIs are more common in women than men and some women tend to get them more often than others. Treatment of UTIs depends on the cause.  In most cases, the cause is bacteria. UTIs caused by bacteria are treated with antibiotics. UTI clinical trials, like those at CNS Healthcare, can help you explore new options.

More About Urinary Tract Infections

A UTI is an infection from microbes. These are organisms that are too small to be seen without a microscope. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, but some are caused by fungi and in rare cases by viruses. UTIs are among the most common infections in humans.

 

A UTI can happen anywhere in your urinary tract. Your urinary tract is made up of your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs only involve the urethra and bladder, in the lower tract. However, UTIs can involve the ureters and kidneys, in the upper tract. Although upper tract UTIs are more rare than lower tract UTIs, they’re also usually more severe.
