Had uti showed rbc rbc and leuk esterase. culture was negative and now 2 days later have back pain and fever if 101 in afternoon. could it be kidney ?

Yes it could: it appears you are taking antibiotics and that could cause you to have a negative urine culture but still have infection. You may need more or different treatment. I suggest you see your physician for further evaluation.
