What is the difference between UTI and kidney infection?
A UTI usually affects the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) causing burning urination and frequency. A kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a more serious upper UTI with fever, flank pain, and chills. Kidney infections need aggressive antibiotic treatment at R.K. Hospital.
Can UTI be treated without antibiotics?
Mild UTIs sometimes resolve with increased water intake, but most UTIs need antibiotics to prevent spread to the kidneys. Self-treating is risky. Visit R.K. Hospital for a urine test and proper prescription.
Why do I keep getting UTIs?
Recurrent UTIs can be caused by incomplete treatment, kidney stones, structural abnormalities, diabetes, or poor hygiene habits. At R.K. Hospital, we investigate the underlying cause with urine culture, ultrasound, and blood tests to prevent recurrence.
What tests are done for kidney infection at R.K. Hospital?
We perform urine routine, urine culture, CBC, kidney function tests (urea, creatinine), and ultrasound KUB. All tests are available in-house with quick turnaround. Call 0755-4260605 for an appointment.

Part of the fever, dengue and when to seek urgent assessment guide
From this question to a practical consultation
Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about fever, dengue and when to seek urgent assessment. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.
At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.
Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.
- 1
Record day of illness and symptoms
- 2
Assess hydration and warning signs
- 3
Order time-appropriate tests if needed
- 4
Review recovery or escalate promptly
The sequence explains planned care. Urgent symptoms require prompt assessment and may change this pathway.
The assessment before a treatment decision
Testing is chosen according to the suspected cause and timing. A negative or positive test needs interpretation in the context of symptoms and the day of illness. Ask whether repeat assessment is needed if the illness changes.
Medical guidance: WHO: Dengue and severe dengue
How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?
Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
