Abstract: Kidney diseases mainly include acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, and urinary tract infections. Nephrology disease can lead to decline in patients own immune system, resulting in serious infections. Urinary tract infection is a common infection of nephrology disease, which causes a very serious impact on health of patients. Therefore, analysis of pathogen distribution should be strengthened. Infection is a major cause of morbidity at all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can directly contribute towards patient mortality. CKD patients may be at an increased risk of infection due to background impairment in host immunity. Therefore, infection prevention and management in the CKD population requires holistic care.
