I have not heard of the Kidneys been infected with Psoriasis, I understand however our immune systems are overactive. Possibly, although I do not know

Try PAPAA they are a charity for Psoriasis and associated joint damage they may know

They are on the Internet

Am going thru this currently. My GP has sent me to a kidney specialist - not a urologist- the term for kidney specialist escapes me at the moment. It's June and this has been going on since Feb. Have had 3 rounds of antibiotics (all different) and still have some sort of infection that will not culture. My appt is tomorrow. Could also be damage from all the medications for the 5 types of psoriasis I have - the worst being PPP. Best to you.
