Urine sample to test bacteria, any blood in the urine and even pus secretion. Thank you.
Simplest "test" is a urinalysis and/or urine culture.
Urine examination and urine culture are the usual tests for kidney infections.
Hello, a urinalysis and culture are required to diagnose a urinary tract infection.

You need complete physical exam and labs.
