@nanahatton65 Yes, you can get sepsis again, according to a simple information search.

I am curious why your primary care referred you to a nephrologist? Do you know have decreased kidney function? If so, what are your numbers?

Are you feeling better?

I’ve had issues practically all my life with urethra problems. I was diagnosed recently when I was in the hospital for lung issues, got sepsis. Diagnosed with kidney disease with benign hypertension. My last infection was a doozy, hard time urinating. Put me on strong antibiotics, feeling better, but my GP referred me to a nephrologist. I’m now 79 years old. I will find out my numbers at my visit with the specialist. I’ve also had many dilations when I was younger. I also have a pacemaker because I have tachycardia and hypertension/heart disease. It’s a long history I’d have to explain everything. Thanks for getting back with me, I appreciate it
