Not usual symptom: Kidney infection causes back pain, fever, frequent burning voids, but sharp umbilical pain is not expected. It may still be somehow related. But need to keep a level of suspicion that there may be something else requiring doctor's reevaluation.

UTI symptoms: Symptoms of UTI typically include lower abdominal discomfort as well as flank discomfort. Pain above your navel is likely intestinal discomfort.
