I ve been having pain in my abdomen and lower back for the past month... I ve been treated with 2 10 day rounds of anitbiotics for kidney infection, UTI and kidney stones. I also just finished a methylprednisolone dose pack that the urologist gave me....  the pain is not going away, its maybe 10 % better than a month ago! the swelling is still here, fever, weakness.  this MD is treating me for all these infections and my WBC is not the least bit elevated and HAS NOT been since this all started. some of the other things in my blood work were low... when I urinate, which is MAYBE 2 times a day, it smells like death... I have an appointment again tues... is my kidney failing?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have severe upper urinary tract infection or infection that is resistant to common antibiotics. You should go for urine routine and microscopic examination as well as culture & sensitivity testing, complete kidney function test and ultrasound abdomen. This will give you exact idea. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
