A member asked:
Recent uti. ongoing flank pain. dipstick shows leukocytes but no bacteria. mri & kub show healthy kidneys. do i need to rule out kidney infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urine culture: A urine culture is needed in my opinion. Another reason for leukocytes in urine besides infection is allergic interstitial nephritis - an allergic reaction to a medication. Did you take a med in the past 45 days?
