A member asked:
What tests would an urgent care doctor do if he suspected a kidney infection (x-ray, ct, just blood and urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on symptoms: A very mild infection could be treated by testing urine only. To determine if the patient is sicker, has a kidney stone or swelling in the kidney, blood tests, ultrasound or cat scan may be added.
