Unfortunately, urinary tract infections can indeed cause some future problems. Because the infection can travel from the bladder up the ureters into the kidneys, they can cause kidney infection (as you've experienced). Chronic UTIs have also been linked with bladder cancer, so you may want to ask your doctor about being tested regularly for bladder cancer. For more information about treatment and prevention of chronic UTIs, you might want to see this site: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000505.htm
