You might feel kidney pain as a dull, one-sided ache in your upper stomach area, side or back. But pain in these areas often has other causes that aren&#8217;t related to the kidneys.<\/p>\n<p>The kidneys are a pair of small organs in the back of the stomach area under the lower ribs. One kidney is located on each side of the spine. It&#8217;s more common to have kidney pain, also called renal pain, on just one side of the body. Fever and urinary symptoms often happen along with kidney pain.<\/p>\n<p>Many things can cause kidney pain. It can be due to health problems such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bleeding in the kidney, also called a hemorrhage.<\/li>\n<li>Blood clots in kidney veins, also called renal vein thrombosis.<\/li>\n<li>Dehydration &mdash; when the body doesn&#8217;t have enough water and other fluids to work as it should.<\/li>\n<li>Kidney cysts (fluid-filled pouches that form on or in the kidneys)<\/li>\n<li>Kidney stones (Hard buildups of minerals and salt that form inside the kidneys.)<\/li>\n<li>Kidney trauma, which could be caused by an accident, a fall or contact sports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some diseases that can cause kidney pain are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hydronephrosis (which is swelling in one or both kidneys)<\/li>\n<li>Kidney cancer or a kidney tumor<\/li>\n<li>Kidney infection (also called pyelonephritis)<\/li>\n<li>Polycystic kidney disease (a genetic illness that causes cysts to form in the kidneys)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You could have one of these health problems and not have kidney pain. For example, most kidney cancers don&#8217;t cause symptoms until they&#8217;re advanced.<\/p>\n<p>Call your health care provider right away if you feel constant, dull, one-sided pain in your back or side. Ask for a same-day appointment if you also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have fever, body aches and fatigue.<\/li>\n<li>Had a recent urinary tract infection.<\/li>\n<li>Feel pain when you pee.<\/li>\n<li>See blood in your urine.<\/li>\n<li>Have an upset stomach or vomiting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Get emergency care if you have sudden, serious kidney pain, with or without blood in your urine.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how this type of pain may feel and what health problems can cause it.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1686,1685,1682,1684],"class_list":["post-52803","mayo","type-mayo","status-publish","hentry","tag-anatomical-structure","tag-condition","tag-person-group-concept","tag-theme-of-focus","content_type-symptoms"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
