Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must assure you, that if kidney function and ultrasound scan are normal now,urinary infection should be treated, and then there's no further problem.
But repeat scan and kidney function should be confirmed first.
If you send a copy of the reports to me directly, i can give you an expert opinion.
Wishing her a speedy recovery.
