I HAVE A 19 YO NIECE WHO HAD A UTI THAT WENT INTO A KIDNEY INFECTION. SHE WAS HOPTIALIZED FOR A FEW HOURS DUE TO ANTIBIOTIC ALLERGY AND INCREASED PAIN/VOMITTING. THEY RELEASED HER AND SAID TO F/U WITH HER MD AS HER WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT IS VERY LOW. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THE DR TESTS FOR?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a urinary tract infection. I suggest to do a urine test, a urine culture and a complete blood count for further evaluation.
I also suggest to do a creatinine and azotemia blood level to check the kidney function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
