What is the cause of pain in the right kidney area

For the human body, almost every organ plays a vital role. For example, the kidneys determine whether many functions of the human body can function normally. If there is a problem with the kidneys, it will not only affect the kidneys, but also other functions of the body. There are many causes of kidney pain. Below, we will introduce the causes, diagnosis methods and treatment methods of kidney pain in detail!

1. What are the causes of kidney pain?

1. Kidney pain caused by infection. The most common pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. Bacteria can enter the kidneys through the blood from purulent lesions in other parts of the body, such as boils, sores, abscesses, infected wounds, upper respiratory tract infections, and infections of tissues adjacent to the kidneys. In the early stage, the lesions are limited to the renal cortex to form multiple tiny abscesses, which may then aggregate into multi-chamber abscesses. In some patients, small abscesses may merge into large abscesses and become renal pain. In a few patients, in the late stage, the renal pain near the cortex may break through the capsule and develop into perinephric abscesses. The abscesses near the renal calyx may perforate and drain into the renal pelvis, and bacteria may be found in the urine.

2. Other reasons such as cysts and stones can also cause kidney pain. Usually ureteral stones can cause severe pain. Renal cysts and various types of nephritis can also cause kidney pain due to damage to the renal interstitium. After sitting for a long time or walking for a long time, you may feel soreness and swelling in the kidneys.

How to diagnose kidney pain

1. Kidney pain may have no symptoms in the early stage, and the primary infection focus may have healed and been ignored. In the later stage, renal pain may appear, with sudden onset and accompanied by chills, high fever, loss of appetite and other manifestations of bacteremia or toxemia. Renal pain, tenderness, and percussion tenderness may occur on the affected side. Sometimes, low back pain affects leg movement and discomfort, swollen kidneys can be felt, and the waist muscles are tense.

2. Regarding the diagnosis of kidney pain, there is a history of infection, such as upper respiratory tract infection, furuncle, abscess, wound, etc. High fever, chills, symptoms of bacteremia, low back pain, lumbar tenderness, percussion pain, and swollen kidneys can be felt. The diagnosis can be made with the help of blood urine test, B-type ultrasound and CT scan.

3. Related auxiliary examinations can also help patients make a diagnosis, such as an increase in white blood cells, an increase in segmented nuclear cells, and positive blood bacterial culture; pus cells in the urine, bacterial growth in urine culture, and bacteria can be found in urine sediment smear staining;

4. Abdominal X-ray films showed that the affected kidney was enlarged and the renal shadow was blurred; intravenous urography showed that the renal calyces in the lesion area were compressed and deformed; B-ultrasound showed an irregular outline of the abscess, and the abscess was a low-echo area; CT renal scan showed a circular bloodless area, and the CT value was between a cyst and a tumor.

3. What to do if you have kidney pain

1. If the kidney pain is caused by infection, antibiotic treatment is required. If the examination shows that the kidney pain is caused by infection, medication is needed. Generally, antibiotics are used. Generally, kidney pain caused by infection that is not very serious can be completely cured.

2. For kidney pain caused by general fatigue, you need to start daily rest and treatment. The most common causes of low back pain are renal colic, lumbar muscle strain, and lumbar bone hyperplasia. Gastritis can also involve low back pain. At this time, patients should pay attention to rest, reduce strenuous exercise, and undergo restorative treatment and recuperation.

3. If you want to completely treat this condition, you first need to go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination to diagnose the specific disease causing the kidney pain. In addition to conducting relevant examinations, you also need to judge the severity of the disease based on your own symptoms and manifestations. If the patient has nausea, chills, and high fever, you need to be examined and treated as soon as possible.

4. There are many diseases that cause kidney pain, and there are also many reasons that lead to the occurrence of the disease. For patients with kidney pain, the first thing to do is to confirm the cause, so as to treat the cause accordingly. As long as the symptoms are treated, it can be completely cured.
