Stress and grief could cause higher blood glucose, but high blood glucose will certainly encourage an infection. If it's left to itself, i.e. no antibiotics, the infection can reach your kidneys and cause nephritis. You really don't want that, not only can it be agonisingly painful, it can kill off your kidneys.A UTI might not travel further, but you don't want to chance it. My experience : three days on a maximum dose of morphine and kidney function reduced to 5%This is one of those things that is easily treated when caught early. It will save time if you ask the receptionist for a urine sample pot, and take a sample into the doctors with you.So sorry for your loss</blockquote>
