Kidney is one of the most important organs of our body. It works to clean the blood, maintain the balance of water and electrolyte in the body and control blood pressure. When the kidney does not function correctly, the body gives some initial indication. These signs are not always near the kidney and often appear as pain or discomfort in other parts.

There may be pain in many parts of the body when there is a problem in the kidney, such as the waist, abdomen, groin, legs and sometimes chest. These pain can be caused by kidney stone, infection or chronic kidney disease. It is very important to identify the initial symptoms so that timely treatment can be started and serious complications can be avoided.

Waist (flank area)

symptoms

• Dull pain
• Pellet
• No relief from resting or changing position

Why does it happen

When there is inflammation, infection or blockage in the kidney, the pain can spread to the back. It is often considered a muscle pen, but the kidney pain is not cured by stretching or massage.

stomach

Abdominal pain can also be caused by kidney problems.

symptoms

• Lower abdominal cramps
• Sudden severe pain, sometimes with nausea

Groin and Pelvic Area

Kidney -related pain can also spread to groin or pelvic area.

symptoms

• Rapid or stinging pain
• Persistent mild pain
• Discomfort or sudden urination during urination

When the stone or blockage passes through the ureter, the surrounding veins and tissue become irritated, causing pain in the groin.

Foots and feet

Kidney failure may cause pain or swelling in the feet, ankles and feet.

symptoms
