A member asked:

Had wbc of 16 and 5000+ in urine but docs cannot find where the infection is coming from to treat hd ct w iv contrast n drank iodine normal ct finding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: A urinary tract infection. Ct won't see all cases of pyelonephritis or cystitis as it depends on how severely the kidneys or bladder are changed by infection. Please consult your doctor.
