It is much easier for a female to catch a kidney infection. The human body has a host of bactiria, yeast and fungus on it. Just the difference in anatomy makes it more common. In order for a male to get a kidney infection(or bladder infection). Usually he will contract a urinary tract infection by bactaria entering the urethra. The mainreason it is harder for men is the size of the urethra in a male is narrower and much harder for the bactaria to travel thru compaired to a female.

Kidney disease does not discriminate against either sex. It can affect male of female. It is true that females due get infections easier.
