Can a back injury cause kidney failure?
25yr white male 5’9′ 175lbs. On Saturday night while out drinking I slipping and slammed my back pretty hard on some steps. Sunday night I started having flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, headache, chills)plus very bad back pain. Today I went an urgent care and while my flu test was negative, they did find some blood in my urine. I have been drinking a lot of water but have not been urinating that often. The doctor gave me some antibiotics that treats kidney infections, but I’m just worried it could be a bigger issue.
