The symptoms presented by the patient are consistent with pyelonephritis, which is an infection of the renal pelvis and kidney tissue. This can occur as a complication of a UTI, especially if left untreated or poorly managed. Polycystic kidney disease, hydronephrosis, and ureteritis would typically present with different symptoms and are less likely to be the cause of the patient's current discomfort.
