Suggest Treatment For Kidney Infection
ok I have a malrotataed Kidney on the left side of my body. It was found due to blood being in my urine. My urologist who treats me for incontinence. He has done another scan using lasix and it hurt. Thought I had a kidney infection on the left side the right hurt some. He told me I have a blockage but he is not sure in which one. Or if the left one even works anymore. I am 42 and have MS. So does it or could it still work. I have only had 1 kidney infection my whole life. and thought I had one 6 months ago in my left one but my Family Dr told me it was to high so it must be my back.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can assure you, malrotated kidney, is only a birth variant.
It's not predisposed to infection, any different from a normal kidney.
Without seeing your scans or reports, it's really very difficult to comment.
However, a lasix scan will cause pain, if there's an obstruction in kidney.
MS doesn't cause any infection in kidney either.
For my expert opinion,please send all your urine, blood reports and scans, including Ultrasound, CT-IVU/MRU, to me, as a direct question.
