Diagnostics
In case of pain in the left kidney, a simple ultrasound examination and a urine test can already bring clarity. The person affected can often detect changes by observing their own urine closely, which can help to find the cause. In the case of an inflammation of the renal pelvis, treatment with an antibiotic is sufficient in most cases, as ascending bacteria are the cause of an inflammation of the renal pelvis and can be easily eliminated with antibiotics. Only in severe cases a hospital stay is necessary, when the germs from the kidney, which is very well supplied with blood, spread via the bloodstream into the whole body and cause blood poisoning (=sepsis).
