Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an urologist, I can understand your anxiety.
After an examination by Urologist, the proper test to do is a CECT.
The creatinine level must be written.
The urine is sterile.So no there's no UTI.
Anti-t.b.treatment has been started empirically. Urine should've been sent for AFB culture.
You may send the CECT and creatinine reports to me, for an expert opinion, as a direct question.
