Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. You are definitely having urinary tract infection. Renal function tests can help in evaluation of kidney function.
2. Ultrasound can help in identifying, an abscess, pyonephrosis, scarring etc in the kidney.
3. If required, a guided renal biopsy can be done to identify infection.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
