How do urine tests show the presence of pyelonephritis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They don not: The urine test shows only infection. If you add fever and/or loin pain to urine infection you get pyelonephritis.

They don't : They show that the urine is infected but not whether that is in the kidney or just the bladder.
