– why does a kidney infection hurt the lungs and make it hard to breathe?

Have a kidney infection, and originally thought it was pneumonia due to the issues I was having taking a breath. Could only breathe shallowly. So why / how does this happen?

Have you seen a doctor before or after the breathing problem?

If the breathing problem occured after the consult, and you noticed a decrease in your urine output and frequency, then you better get a check up again.

You might be retaining water because the infection is making your kidney function inadequately.

Imagine the difference between blowing air into a baloon in your room vs. blowing air into the baloon while submerged in water. That’s how your lungs are quite possibly feeling right now.
