What are the symptoms of a kidney infection and how is it treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain, burning: Kidney infections usually have the same symptoms as utis (burning with urination, increased frequency), now associated with pain in the flank, especially with percussion. Also, pyelonephritis (as a kidney infection is known) is often associated with high fever.
