Carolina Dieckmann Hospitalized With Advanced Kidney Infection

Overview

• Dieckmann revealed on Wednesday that she has been in hospital for four days after doctors diagnosed an advanced infection in her left kidney.
• Medical staff have started intravenous antibiotic treatment and she remains under observation with no precise discharge date given.
• The actress said the infection was found just before she was due to board a long flight to a remote destination and that not traveling likely avoided a more serious in-flight or systemic complication.
• Her post on Instagram thanked attentive friends and her husband Tiago Worcman as the couple marked their 23rd anniversary, and fans left messages of support in the comments.
• A kidney infection can begin in the urinary tract and spread to the kidney, which is why advanced cases commonly require hospital care and IV antibiotics to prevent widespread infection or permanent kidney damage.
