Hello and welcome.

The region mentioned could be due to either your hepatitis or your UTI affecting your kidneys, although the liver being affected and being the cause os more likely.

I cannot be sure without a physical examination and an ultrasound scan of the region. It would be wise to get the above mentioned things done for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Best wishes.
