What causes kidney pain?

Kidney pain is a deep pain. For patients, it will feel severe pain, sometimes even causing fainting. There are many causes of kidney pain, such as kidney inflammation, infection, cysts, and kidney stones are also an important cause of kidney pain. Therefore, only by understanding the cause of kidney pain can regular treatment be carried out.

Kidney pain causes

Common pathogens: The most common pathogen causing kidney pain 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 kidney.

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.

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.

Treatment

1. Kidney pain caused by infection:

Kidney pain caused by infection can usually be treated with adequate antibiotics after diagnosis: for example, penicillin, carbenicillin, and vancomycin. Early treatment is often possible. Early drainage after diagnosis can alleviate systemic symptoms and reduce patient consumption. If kidney pain is not drained well and kidney damage is severe, nephrectomy may be performed if necessary. If there is a perirenal abscess, perirenal incision and drainage should be performed, and kidney pain should be treated with expanded incision and drainage.

2. Kidney pain caused by fatigue:

Many patients' kidney pain manifests as pain in the lower back. The most common causes of lower back pain are renal colic, lumbar muscle strain, and lumbar bone hyperplasia. Gastritis can also involve lower back pain. At this time, patients should pay attention to rest, reduce strenuous exercise, and undergo restorative treatment and recuperation.

3. Kidney diseases such as kidney stones and kidney cysts:

The most common cause of kidney pain is kidney stones. The next are renal cysts and various types of nephritis. If a patient experiences such a situation, he or she can first go to the hospital to do a kidney B-ultrasound to see if there are any diseases such as kidney stones or cysts, and then do a urine routine check to see if there is any kidney disease.

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

When kidney pain patients are found to have abnormal conditions after examination, they should seize the time to receive systematic treatment. Because the kidneys have a strong compensatory ability, there are often no symptoms in the early stages of kidney disease, or they only manifest as back pain or kidney pain, which can be easily ignored. As a result, kidney patients only think of seeking treatment when the disease reaches the terminal stage and the condition is serious, and at this time the best time for treatment has been missed.
