Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i don't understand,what's the dilemma, to diagnose this.
The CT scan findings are reflecting,exactly your symptoms.
Your symptoms are typically seen in acute pyelonephritis (APN).
This needs treatment with antibiotics,anti-inflammatory analgesics,and repeat scan, after about one week. The scan will show marked changes.
Gradually,the kidney function(creatinine),will improve,with negative culture.
The symptoms will reduce considerably, with proper treatment.
If you've any doubts,you may send me a direct question, with reports.
