Causes of Kidney Infection?

What are the causes of kidney infections, not including bladder infection?
I've had 2 kidney infections in the past 4 months, and neither stemmed from a bladder infection. I have no more sign of infection (according to a Urinalysis), but my kidney hurts.. My back is killing me, and when I press on my kidney area it is very tender.. it also feels swollen in there. What can be wrong?

BTW - The Dr. has advised me to finish my medication for the kidney infection, and see how it feels after that. But it was not my regular Doc, and I'm not sure how much I trust him. I will still finish my medication as directed, I just don't know if I should be pressuring for more tests or not.  In the meantime, trying to figure out the possibility's, but I'm having a very hard time finding the cause of reoccurring kidney infections that are not caused by UTI's.
