      Causes of kidney pain

      Kidney pain can occur for a variety of reasons, such as infection, cysts, stones, fatigue, etc. After discovering kidney pain, you should find the cause to prevent the original condition from worsening due to carelessness.

      Kidney pain caused by infection, the most common causative bacteria are golden yellow Grape Cocci and bacteria can enter the kidneys through the blood from purulent lesions in other parts, such as boils, pains, abscesses, infected wounds, upper respiratory tract infections, and infections of adjacent kidney tissues. In the early stage, the lesions are limited to the renal cortex to form multiple microabscesses, which can then aggregate into multilocular abscesses. In some patients, small abscesses can fuse into large abscesses and become renal pain. In a few patients, in the advanced stage, juxtacortical renal pain can penetrate the capsule and develop into perinephric abscesses. Abscesses near the renal calyces can perforate and drain to the renal pelvis, and bacteria can be found in the urine.

      Other causes such as cysts and stones can also cause kidney pain. Usually ureteral stones 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 also feel sore and swollen pain in your kidneys.

      How to diagnose kidney pain

      Kidney pain may be asymptomatic in the early stage, and the primary infection focus may be healed and ignored. In the later stage, kidney pain may occur suddenly, accompanied by symptoms of bacteremia or toxemia such as chills, high fever, poor appetite, etc. Kidney pain, tenderness, and percussion tenderness may occur on the affected side, sometimes due to low back pain Discomfort affecting leg movements, palpable enlarged kidneys, and tense waist muscles.

      Regarding the diagnosis of kidney pain, there is a history of infection focus, such as upper respiratory tract infection, boils, abscesses, wounds, etc. High fever, chills, manifestations of bacteremia, low back pain, waist tenderness, percussion pain, and swollen kidneys can be felt. Urine and blood tests, B-mode ultrasound and CT examinations can be used for diagnosis. At the same time, relevant auxiliary examinations can also help patients make a diagnosis, such as an increase in white blood cells, an increase in lobulated nuclear cells, and blood bacterial culture may be positive. ; There may be pus cells in the urine, bacterial growth can be found in urine culture, and bacteria can be found in urine sediment smears. ; Abdominal X-ray shows enlargement of the affected kidney and blurred kidney shadow ; Intravenous urography shows compression and deformation of the renal calyces in the lesion area ; B-ultrasound shows an irregular outline of the abscess, which is a hypoechoic area. ; A CT kidney scan showed a circular bloodless area with a CT value between that of a cyst and a tumor.

      How to Treat Different Types of Kidney Pain

      1. Kidney pain caused by infection:

      Kidney pain caused by infection can generally be treated with a sufficient amount of antibiotics after diagnosis: such as penicillin, carbenicillin, and cephalosporin, which can often be treated in the early stage. Early drainage after diagnosis can alleviate systemic symptoms and reduce patient consumption. Renal pain has poor drainage, and nephrectomy is necessary when the kidney damage is serious. If perirenal abscess occurs, perirenal incision and drainage, and renal pain expansion and drainage should be performed.

      2. Kidney pain caused by exertion:

      Kidney pain in many patients manifests as pain in the waist. The most common causes of low back pain are renal colic, lumbar muscle strain, and lumbar bone hyperplasia. Gastritis can also be involved in low back pain. At this time, patients should pay attention to rest, reduce strenuous exercise, and conduct restorative treatment and recuperation.

      3. Kidney stones, renal cysts and other kidney diseases disease

      The most common cause of kidney pain is kidney stones. This is followed by renal cysts and various types of nephritis. If the patient encounters such a situation, he can come first Hospital Check the kidney B-ultrasound to see if there are kidney stones, cysts and other diseases, and then check the urine routine to see if there is kidney disease.

      For kidney pain caused by kidney diseases such as kidney stones, kidney cysts, nephritis, etc., the key is to cure this type of kidney disease to get rid of the kidney pain. The best way to treat renal cysts, nephritis, or even renal failure and uremia is micronized Chinese medicine infiltration therapy that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

      When patients with kidney pain find abnormalities during examination, they must seize the time for systematic treatment. Because the kidneys have strong compensatory capabilities, there are often no symptoms in the early stages of kidney disease, or only low back pain or kidney pain, which is easily ignored by everyone. As a result, patients with kidney disease only think of treatment when they reach the end stage and have missed the best opportunity for treatment.

      What are the causes of kidney pain? There are the following types:

      1. Kidney pain caused by infection. The most common pathogenic bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteria can enter the kidneys through the blood from purulent lesions in other parts, such as boils, pains, abscesses, infected wounds, upper respiratory tract infections, and infections of adjacent kidney tissues. In the early stage, the lesions are limited to the renal cortex to form multiple microabscesses, which can then aggregate into multilocular abscesses. In some patients, small abscesses can fuse into large abscesses and become renal pain. In a few patients, in the advanced stage, juxtacortical renal pain can penetrate the capsule and develop into perinephric abscesses. Abscesses near the renal calyces can perforate and drain to the renal pelvis, and bacteria can be found in the urine.

      2. Other causes such as cysts and stones can also cause kidney pain. Usually ureteral stones will 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 will also feel pain like soreness and swelling in the kidneys.
