A member asked:

Can a kidney infection cause retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: Urinary tract infections rarely cause lymph node enlargement unless there is an unusual organism (bacterial, fungal, or viral), or may be seen in addition to (but not necessarily related to) other serious conditions that warrant additional evaluation.
