Understanding Kidney Pain
Kidney pain is usually felt in the lower back or sides of the body, just below the ribcage. Unlike muscular back pain, kidney pain often indicates an underlying medical condition that requires prompt evaluation. Conditions such as kidney stones, infections, or chronic kidney disease can cause significant discomfort if not treated in time.
At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive accurate diagnosis and advanced kidney pain treatment under the care of a super specialist nephrologist, ensuring effective relief and long-term kidney health.
Common Causes of Kidney Pain
Kidney pain can arise from various kidney-related problems, including:
-
Kidney Stones: Sharp, severe pain that may radiate to the abdomen or groin
-
Kidney Infection (Pyelonephritis): Pain accompanied by fever, chills, and burning urination
-
Urinary Tract Obstruction: Blockage due to stones or prostate enlargement
-
Polycystic Kidney Disease: Enlarged kidneys causing chronic discomfort
