Hi, I just returned from an urgent care clinic with a doctor who seemed very inexperienced. I suspected a kidney infection (I ve had one before and had light back pain in combo with typical UTI symptoms). My urinalysis indicated 75 LEU/uL, as well as 30 mg/dL of protein. I was given a shot of Rocephin, as well as Cipro to begin tomorrow. My doctor was unclear/unsure, so I was hoping to gain some insight on whether it was a kidney infection or UTI, as well as signs I should be looking out for in case I need further care. Thank you for your help.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your concern. You should write age and sex. Your urine test does suggest probable UTI. So urine culture must be done. An Urologist after examination, will also advise you to follow tests
