Are Lower Back Pain And Cloudy Urine Signs Of Kidney Infection?

I am thinking I may have a kidney infection...I have been dehydrated and have corrected that part, but for about a week now I ve had a dull pain in my lower right back and my urine has been cloudy for about 3 days. I ve never had cloudy urine before..I have a doctor s appt in one week, but are these signs of a kidney infection? No blood in the urine..

Nephrologist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for your query
A cloudy urine with backache could be a sign of UTI
So I would advise you to do a Urine R/M and Urine culture.
Based on the results we could decide the further course of action.
Meanwhile drink plenty of fluids.
Hope this helps
Good luck
