Syphilis can affect the kidneys indirectly through its systemic effects, particularly in the later stages of the infection. The disease can lead to conditions such as renal artery involvement or glomerulonephritis, resulting in kidney damage. Additionally, the immune response to syphilis may cause inflammation that impacts kidney function. Untreated syphilis can lead to serious complications, including kidney failure, if the infection progresses.
