No. Kidney infections are typically diagnosed with urine culture, which will not say if chlamydia is present or not.

A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye.

How soon can chlamydia show up in urine?
Urine tests are effective for testing chlamydia, as long as the right test is ordered. A routine urinalysis or urine culture will not detect chlamydia. The specific chlamydia test needs to be ordered. There is a DNA amplification test that can be performed for chlamydia and gonorrhea on a urine sample. The urine, however, should not be a midstream sample - it should be the first urine that is urinated to get any of the bacteria that were growing in the urethra.

The test for chlamydia remains reliable even if someone has been infected for years. Unlike syphilis, long term infection doesn't give a false negative result. However, a certain percentage of people appear to clear chlamydia infection on their own, so it's possible to have chlamydia in the past but test negative now even without taking treatment.
