A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obstructed?: Obstruction of the upper part of the ureter or within the kidney could do this. e.g. from a kidney stone or papillary necrosis. That is, the infected area is not draining, and so no bacteria or white blood cells in the urine. If so, it's quite serious. It is common not to see bacteria on urinalysis but they are found in culture. Keep working closely with your doctors.
