Treatment relies on antibiotics like nitrofurantoin, or a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, as well as removing infected indwelling devices.
Therefore, upper UTI shares a lot of the same risk factors as lower UTI: things like female sex, sexual intercourse, indwelling catheters, diabetes mellitus, and urinary tract obstruction.
The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.
