Doctors often diagnose kidney infections based on signs and symptoms, such as fever and back pain. If your doctor suspects you have a kidney infection, you may be asked to provide a urine sample to test for bacteria, blood or pus is in your urine.
Your doctor can do very simple tests to check for kidney disease: 1  Measure the level of serum creatinine in your blood to estimate your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 2  Measure the level of protein in your urine (increased levels of protein show your kidneys are not working right) 3  Check your blood pressure.
