Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Kidney infection requires hospitalization and treatment with intravenous antibiotics.

But the growth on the kidney should be further investigated to know the nature and type of the growth.

The investigation may be MIBG scan to know any mass in the adrenal gland or a nuclear scan.

If you upload your discharge summary or prescription I will try to advise you in a better way.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
