What Causes A Bruise On The Back Along With Kidney Infection?
My daughter is 33 years old has 1 child and a bruise keeps coming back on the curve of her back in the same spot. Very painful. It appears about every two weeks and then she gets a kidney infection. This has been going on for about 8 years. She has seen just about every specialist...No one knows.

Dear User,
I'm not surprised of this symptoms. In fact, bacteremia is often preceded by lumbar pain. Then, fever comes. On the other hand, may be there is some kind of primary or secondary vesicalureteral reflux, that can be studied by either contrast voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) or radionuclide cystogram (RNC). Then, depending on the abnormality (if any) demonstrated by VCUG, there are several solution, both medical or surgical. Let me know,
