US is not sensitive enough for pelvic organs. Pyelonephritis does cause kidney dysfunction so I suggest you should wait for at least 4-6 weeks before receiving CT with IV contrast.

Pyelonephritis treated with 4 rounds of ciprofloxacin. 2 weeks later I still have swelling around my kidney (on ultrasound) and mild pain. I have no other symptoms, urine, CRP and kidney function are okay. Is this normal recovery or is it an abscess?
