UTIs in Dementia: What Looks Different and What to Do
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Urinary tract infections are one of the most common reasons people with dementia end up in the emergency room.
In this video, I talk with Dr. Krieger, an emergency room physician, about why UTIs often look different in dementia and why sudden changes should not automatically be blamed on dementia progression.
Dr. Krieger is also the creator of Uraguard, a product designed to help reduce bacterial exposure around the urethra for women with incontinence. We talk about where tools like this may fit into UTI prevention, along with other practical strategies caregivers can use.
