Urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra, is more common in men. It typically is caused by chlamydia or gonorrhea bacteria. Cystitis, an infection of the urinary bladder, causes inflammation of the bladder wall and urinary urgency. Pyelonephritis, an inflammation of the renal pelvis and kidney, is the most common type of renal disease. It is caused by bacteria that ascend from the lower urinary tract and is associated with conditions such as urinary retention or obstruction that promote urinary stasis and the growth of bacteria. It frequently is preceded by urethritis and cystitis. Many conditions can cause glomerulonephritis, although the cause may be unknown. Acute glomerulonephritis, or sudden inflammation of the glomeruli, usually develops in children and adolescents about 2 weeks after a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever. In adults it may also be associated with infections including Hepatitis B and C or other conditions such as lupus.
