Has anyone any experience of memory loss related to bladder or kidney infections? I know that in us old fogies it can cause confusion/memory problems.
My husband is awaiting the results of tests on what is almost certainly one of these and as well as the usual symptoms his memory has been coming and going. He was given a dementia check by the GP and passed with flying colours. GP assured him there was no cognitive loss at all.
He has been started on antibiotics - second day now. Does anyone know how quickly he might get his memory back? I understand memory loss from bladder infections is reversible. It has been most alarming to have someone normally so cogent being so confused and with a memory that comes and goes, particularly as this was the only symptom to start with.

Thanks Granny. That was a quick response! 
He is getting so frustrated because he knows his memory is shot at the moment. A thought is in his head at one moment and gone the next.
