Can you tell me how the doctor tell if a uti has gone to the kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms: Symptoms such as Fever, chills, frequent painful urination are all symptoms of an infection in your kidneys. Your doctor may tap on your back over your kidneys. Pain when he does this is another sign of a kidney infection. Finally, tests of your urine will show white cells, bacteria and other things that help a doctor know you have an infection.
