Depending on how serious the infection is it can cause disease, however if it is caught early, as they usually are and treated there are few risks. If it escalates it can lead to issues as bad as a failed kidney. That is worst case scenario however and not very likely.
An untreated kidney infection can damage your kidneys, resulting in decreased renal function. Untreated infection, uncontrolled hypertension, Diabetes (high serum sugar), nephro-toxic drugs all damage kidneys...resulting in "kidney disease."
