I think burning sensation after urination, some itchy sensation, foul-smelling or cloudy urine; these are some kidney infection indication, but these symptoms are also related to other diseases so contact your doctor. Paraphrased from Wikipedia.org1:
Pyelonephritis (also referred to as "urosepsis" interchangeably) results when a urinary tract infection travels through the ureters to the kidneys.
Symptoms include:
High spiking fever, backache, vomiting, dysuria (painful voiding), rigors (shaking or trembling, hematuria (blood in the urine) that may or may not be visible, and possible confusion (occurs more often in elderly). You also may have lower Back pain on the flank area, including the area being tender to the touch upon examination.
As mentioned earlier, this is a serious medical condition and requires antibiotic treatment. If you are experiencing these symptoms, please visit your physician for proper treatment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of the time when you have a kidney infection, you pee blood. But if you want to know more, read above.

∙ 7y agoYes, one or both kidneys can hurt. A likely condition is a kidney infection--the pain covers the flank (side) on one or both sides. Or it can be kidney stones, which causes a sharper, crampy pain in the flank but typically only on one side. See a doctor.

Could your kidney cause left side pain?
Yes, it's possible that your kidney can cause left side pain or left side back pain. Your kidneys are located on the left and right of your spine just above the highest point of your pelvis. Kidney pain can be confused with other types of pain, and can be a sign of an infection or something more serious. If you have lower back pain, kidney problems could be a contributor. You could also have a bladder infection which can spread to the kidney. This can also be very serious. Sometimes infections spread past the kidney and cause abscesses on the kidney or in the bloodstream, but you would have a fever if that were the case. There are other conditions that could cause left side pain such as an infection in the colon for older people or the urinary tract, ovary or fallopian tube for women, and side pain during pregnancy is very common. It can also be related to abdominal pain, flank pain, the bladder or appendix, even a cold. Some causes of kidney pain can include kidney damage, inflammation, cysts or failure, kidney stones or enlarged kidneys. If this pain continues or worsens, you need to see your doctor right away to make sure it isn't something more serious. They can also run blood and urine tests, ultrasound or CAT scans, etc. as needed.
