Treatment of Kidney and Flank Pain Pain: What You Need to Know
There are many causes of kidney pain. Some of these are fairly common such as kidney stones, and others are rather rare such as renal infarcts.
-
- Kidney stones
- Pyelonephritis
- Kidney tumors
- Hematuria and blood clots
- Glomerulonephritis
- Papillary necrosis
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Renal and perinephric abscess
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Acute renal infarction
- Renal vein thrombosis
Evaluation of Kidney and Back Pain
A patient’s history and physical exam can provide valuable clues to the cause of back pain. Ultrasound of the kidneys, MRI of the abdomen, or a CT scan of the abdomen may be used to further elucidate the cause of back and kidney pain.
Blood work, including creatinine, can help to confirm that the kidneys are working normally.
Treatment of Kidney and Flank Pain.
Effective treatment options are available for men and women with renal pain. Evaluation typically includes a physical exam, blood and urine tests, kidney ultrasound, or CT scan.
Once the cause of pain is established, the treatment approach is guided by the underlying diagnosis. For example, if a kidney stone or ureteral stone is discovered, the treatment would involve breaking and removing the stone from the kidney or the ureter.
- Renal pain can be dull and vague or acute and sharp, depending on the cause.
- Kidney stones are an important cause of recurrent renal pain. The pain is usually sharp, spasmodic, and can come and go.
- Pyelonephritis refers to inflammation of the kidneys. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It presents with fever, rapid pulse rate as well as flank or back pain.
- A renal and peri-renal abscess is caused by blood-borne infection or ascending infection along the ureters. In addition to pain, it can also present with fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dysuria.
- Blood clots sometimes block the renal pelvis or the ureter resulting in pain or clot colic. This may occur in association with kidney stones or a tumor.
- Papillary necrosis occurs due to a lack of blood supply to the kidney and can result in severe pain. It is more common in diabetics but can be caused by medications, sickness, and a number of other causes. Necrotic papilla can obstruct renal calyces, ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), ureter, or ureterovesical junction. Infection and stone formation may also occur. All these complications may result in renal pain. People with diabetes mellitus are at high risk of developing papillary necrosis.
- Kidney tumors are usually slow-growing but highly vascular. They can cause vague, dull discomfort and, less commonly, sharp pain. The classic presentation is flank pain, blood in urine, and flank mass.
- Ureteropelvic Junction – UPJ obstruction is a functional obstruction of the upper end of the ureter. This condition may occur on one or both sides. It usually presents with dull aching pain aggravated by fluid intake or alcohol. Dilatation of the renal pelvis occurs and is called hydronephrosis. Pain occurs due to stretching of the renal capsule. This condition may be intermittent, as seen in Dietl’s crisis; loin swelling occurs due to hydronephrosis along with acute pain, which subsides after some time with the disappearance of swelling and passage of a large volume of urine.
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis is characterized by extensive fibrosis in the region of kidneys and ureters. Its cause may be related to autoimmunity, drugs, infections, or certain cancers. Fibrosis causes ureteral obstruction resulting in back pressure changes in the kidneys, including kidney pain. Renal failure may occur.
- Acute renal infarction occurs due to sudden obstruction of the renal artery or its branches. It presents with persistent flank pain, nausea, and vomiting. Segmental renal infarcts may occur and are associated with pain and the development of hypertension.
- Renal vein thrombosis may occur in a hypercoagulable state in which spontaneous clotting of blood occurs in the veins. It is commonly associated with loss of proteins in urine, renal pain, and leg swelling. Renal vein thrombosis may also occur in renal cancer and after kidney transplantation.
- Glomerulonephritis is an immune-mediated inflammatory condition that results in progressive deterioration of kidney function. Damage to the filtering units called glomeruli results in the loss of blood and proteins in urine. Flank pain and hematuria are common presenting features.
- Polycystic kidney disease results due to the formation of multiple cysts in both kidneys resulting in kidney enlargement. These cysts are filled with clear or blood-stained urine and can get infected and cause pain.
