Kidney infection: Kidney infection or kidney stone could be present if there if one sided back pain. Also, fever and nausea would suggest infection. If the urine is cloudy, it would likely be infection. If there is blood in the urine, a kidney stone is possible.

Could be: kidney infection that spread from the bladder infection. You can get really sick from a pyelonephritis, so you should see a doctor asap.
