Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) Questions Kidney Infections

Could the pain in my back be a kidney infection?

I'm 42 years old, and my back started to hurt really bad last week. Since then, I've had an aching feeling in my lower back and recently a high fever. Could the pain in my back be a kidney infection?
