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.
During the procedure, blood samples are drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand, using a thin, hollow needle. Blood tests performed to diagnose and treat kidney stones include complete blood count (CBC) and creatinine levels. The CBC is a screening test used to diagnose many different diseases including those affecting fluid volume, anemia, blood loss, acute or chronic infection, allergies, and problems with clotting.
