[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It can be related, and probably is. Klebsiella isn't common causative agent, but it happens in immunocompromised and in hospitalized patients. Lung infections lead to bacteremia, it means that bacteria has entered bloodstream after which it can be transmissed to any organ(kidneys, heart, brain). It should be treated aggressively by intravenous antibiotics and this is usually enough for healing. In rare cases it can lead to serious kidney damage, but in most cases it heals without consequences. Wish you good health.
