?Symtoms?test result: Urine cultures confirm urinary tract infections. Flank pain or tenderness, fever, chills, high white blood cell count or dark blood in urine would all suggest kidney infection. DMSA nuclear kidney scan or CT with contrast can demonstrate kidney involvement. Believe hospital provided u didn't have symtoms & tests were done.Clinic may have found a UTI & suspected kidney & hence you went to the hosp.
