Kidney Infection Diagnosis. The most important test in diagnosing kidney infection is a urinalysis (UA). This is basically a test to analyze urine sample and evaluate for an infection in the urine. Urinalysis is done by collecting a clean catch, midstream urine in a sterile collection cup. The urine may be analyzed by the doctor in the office using or by analysis in a laboratory. Because urine is normally sterile, any finding suggesting an infection may be considered abnormal and supportive of a kidney infection. 1  Gross inspection of urine (macroscopic analysis) may reveal cloudy urine.
Tests may include: 1  Complete blood count or hematocrit to check for anemia. 2  CT scan of the head or MRI. 3  EEG. Liver function tests.  Prothrombin 1  time. Serum ammonia level.  Sodium level in the 1  blood. Potassium level in the 2  blood. BUN and creatinine to see how the kidneys are  working.
