I believe i had a untreated kidney infection a few years ago, recent doc visit showed nothing. what do you suggest?

Both may be right: You may very well have had a kidney infection years ago, and treated or not, many of them are self limiting and cause no long term damage, whereas others might do so. If there is no current evidence for an infection, i suggest you not worry about it, and return for an evaluation if you have recurrent symptoms.
