See urologist: Acute pyelonephritis, or kidney infection, can lead to kidney abscess, which may need additional treatment, including surgery. If the infection was due to presence of a kidney stone, this can also lead to persistent symptoms. You should see a urologist for additional testing, including urine culture and urinalysis, possible ultrasound or ct scan.
