Hospitalized!

Filed under: Olsen Twins

070801buc_weeds_010__opt.jpg

Olsen down!

Mary-Kate was rushed to the emergency room in New York on Monday!

The official cause for the ER visit????

She got a "kidney infection."

MK is "resting comfortably" and likely to be released "in the next day or so," says her publicist.

Hmmm…..

Kidney infection????

Wasn't Lindsay "hospitalized" for that one???

    The poor little thing went to rehab for food addictions but the place she went to doesn't treat food addictions, they treat drug addictions. Perhaps she was misguided? Certainly nobody in her world would lie to the public.

    Who cares what this fat bastard thinks actually happened? I mean, does Perez, "I suck dick for coke" really have any sway on your personal life and opinions? Really?

    Anyways, kidney infections are very very common and quite painful.

    It (a kidney infection) is called Pyelonephritis. I've had one before and I had to go to the hospital too. I believe her.

    I really think it may make you think twice about some of your choices and how they are affecting humans(in this case Tina and others).I appreciate your time,thanks ,Sincerely,DM

    Re: Sarah

    actually, sex CAN be a reason for a kidney infection. it's not always the number one reason, but things like hygiene and intercourse can lead to a higher likelihood for a young woman to get a UTI — which leads to a bladder infection, which leads to kidney infections. it's actually relatively common for a woman in the first year or two of her sexual activity.

    and perez — not that youd ever read this, but i dont know why you dont believe she has a kidney infection. they can be very painful, ive had two kidney infections (caused by e. coli), i needed pain medicine alone to control the terrible flank pain. it can get really bad, and some choose to be hospitalized so they can get a good IV antibiotic treatment if its serious enough. otherwise, you can take oral antibiotics and just be closely monitored by your doc.

    I work in a major NYC hospital. Believe me, the real story of why she was admitted will be leaked out soon enough. Wanna know why? Because most people that work in admitting and medical records are clueless idiots with just high school diplomas who push paper all day long. A celebrity coming to stay is big news, and they get excited so they blab to 2 friends, and then they tell 2 friends, and so on…

    BTW, even licensed hospital staff like RNs blab too. No one gives a crap about HIPAA (well, except those people that got canned who peaked into George Clooney's medical record)

    112

    Hey Perez, If she's the one dating pedopheliac Lance Asstrong, she probably has a urinary tract infection because she's not used to having relations with someone (a) so big, or (b) so physical! It happened to me twice in my life. xo

  13. Joan R says – reply to this


    113

    My doctor threatened to hospitalize me when I came in with a kidney infection and 104 degree temperature. It's usually to make sure you can get enough fluids to your kidneys before serious damage sets in. Oh, and it's not just glorious amounts of sex that cause them but poor diet, especially extremely low caloric intake can make you ketotic. Hrm….but that wouldn't be something to worry about here would it?

  14. Chelsea says – reply to this

    She probably got a UTI that she let for for too long and it spread to her kidneys. Happened to me and it SUCKS.

    i had a kidney infection in the spring and ended up in the hospital with a 104 fever, severly low blood pressure and couldnt even walk because i was so sick. its a real thing so it doesnt need "" quotes around it. its very common for women as people have said its a UTI or bladder infection that goes untreated. the bacteria e coli ends up attacking your kidney

  35. non-ADD says – reply to this


    135

    1st off that IS a pic of MK. 2nd, Ashley is the one supposedly doing Lance, MK is supposedly doing Sean Avery, who is supposedly still doing his ex Elisha Cuthbert, which may be true since while he was with Elisha he was STILL calling his ex Rachel Hunter, but in fairness to him, Elisha ALWAYS mentioned her ex Trace (JT's BFF) in front of Sean when she was high on Jack, weed and pills. All's fair in love and war kiddies!

  36. OOPSY! says – reply to this


    136

    Yikes…embarassing!! I had this too. It is basically from sex…in the sense that you can easily get a UTI from that and it can progress to the kidneys if not properly treated. It sucks, you feel sooooooo sick and it's dangerous!! Your blood can get totally septic, which can kill you.

    Feel better Mary-Kate!

    i've had 2 kidney infections and i'm 21…it's because she hasn't been eating/drinking much… she should have drank cranberry juice…that's all i do now when i feel one coming on. kidney infections hurt lik a bitch too perez, so back the fu*k off of her.

  47. joanna says – reply to this


    147

    caused by bladder infections??? THEY MAY START LIKE THAT… but not mostly.. ive had to be hospitlized twice for kidney infections, once i almost died cuz i waited so long… stupid me i thought it asn't that serious and it almost burst.

  48. joanna says – reply to this


    148

    nicole did you have medical insurance?? cuz i was in the hospital for 4 days…even missed my 4th of july :(
    plus, she's rich so of course they're going to make her stay longer.

  53. Lala says – reply to this


    153

    All the people who say it's from drugs are dumb. Maybe from drugs because you don't take care of your self but drugs DO NOT=Bladder infection. Too much sex can be a cause and why you ask? Because fecal matter from you bum travels up you urethra and causes a urinary tract infection. When untreated, because often times girls are unsure of why it hurts when they pee, it can cause a blatter infection. SOOOOOOo moral of the story. Lots of sex, without peeing afterwards and with bum play can=a bladder/urinary tract infection. Thank you, thank you. Please hold the applause.

  54. mem says – reply to this


    154

    Hmmm…one usually gets a kidney infection from an untreated bladder infection and the bacteria speads up the ureters into kidnies. Many women frequently get bladder infections from having sex which means…homegirls getting laid!:) Because it is a bacterial infection, symptons are high fever and other flu/meningitis like symptons. A hospital stay can be anywhere from a day to a week. Might I remind everyone that a few years back Ben Affleck was hospitalized for suspected meningitis and had a spinal tap done only to find out it was a kidney infection and was hospitalized for a week. Nothing suspicious, just feisty bacteria.

  57. Lala says – reply to this


    157

    Ok, folks. Let's clear this up once and for all. Drugs, and eating disorders do not cause bladder infections. Think about it. It's an INFECTION, which means something has to cause it. Drugs and eating disorders do not cause it but can make you more vulnerable. So what is the thing to infect you, you ask? Most likely fecal matter. That's right. Fecal matter from your bum travels up your urethra and causes a urinary tract infection and left untreated can cause a bladder infection. Why would it go untreated? Because often times girls don't know why it hurts when they pee. So long story short-a lot of sex (because of the rubbing) can move fecal partials from the back to the front and cause a urinary tract infection. You add bum play into that equation and it's a sure recipe for a UTI. Moral of the story. Always pee after sex. Also it's not that serious. A couple rounds of antibiotic, and laying off riding the pony for a week and you're fine.

    Not likely the right diagnosis, folks! I had a kidney infection and was hospitalized for 10 days and then had to have home infusion of major antibiotics..and yes my immune system is normal (HIVneg, etc). My experience is typical the doctors say. She would not have been discharged after a day or two— she'd be barfing and writhing in pain for over a week with a fever of maybe 103. Maybe she had a lower urinary (bladder) infection..or something they're trying to conceal…

    Ugh this really does happen!! Happened to me last summer. I was travelling and didn't drink enough water in a hot climate. Got severely dehydrated and developed a serious kidney infection for which I had to be hospitalized. Who knows, maybe her kidneys are weaker due to her past anorexia. But it does happen. And it is really, REALLY not pleasant.

    I hope some of you are just acting stupid on purpose. You can get kidney infections for all sorts of reasons. If you ever get a bladder infection and don't treat it properly, you can get a kidney infection. And you don't JUST get bladder infections from having a ton of sex… Good grief… it COULD be cocaine, it COULD be cystitis, it COULD be loads of things.

    178

    Most urinary tract infections are bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not serious if it is treated right away. If you do not take care of a bladder infection, it can spread to your kidneys. A kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent damage.

    Usually, germs get into your system through your urethra-the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside of your body. The germs that usually cause these infections live in your large intestine and are found in your stool. Once the germs are inside your urethra, they can travel up into your bladder and kidneys and cause an infection.

    This is probably because women have shorter urethras, so it is easier for the germs to move up to their bladders. Having sex can make it easier for germs to get into your urethra.

    Ignorant people read above. You can not get a kdney infection from having sex,anal sex, or being ejactulated into. Bladder infection to a kdney infection.

    What is up with her posture??? Her shoulders are so elevated…usually a sign of being really tall (which she's not) or having low self worth, stress, slouching or leading a seditary life style.

    Ahh! It pains me to look at her. Stop sulking and go excercise and possibly see a physical therapist!!!

    PS: Kindey infections are often the result of untreated bladder infections( that can result from sex). Most women( over 18) know how not to get them, and if they do they treat it!!!! This girl's body is a wreck! Someone help her!!!!

    Re: shaza

    Hey "shaza"….NO the kidneys are NOT bruised!!!!! They are infected…due to bacteria entering the urethra( that's pee hole incase you didn't know). The infection starts there and can go to the bladder adn kidneys if not treated. And you can have sex one time adn get it.I hope you are not representative of the most of people on this web site. It's sub- highschool sex ed information. Were you the same person who thought douching with Moutain due would keep you from getting pregnant??? I bet you were.

    I have had both a kidney infection and a kidney stone and both are EXTREMELY painful, not to mention something to be taken seriously. With a kidney infection, you have to take strong antibiotics, else the infection could worsen to the point where you you could get blood poisoning (sepsis) and/or lose a kidney!
