10 Symptoms of Kidney Problems
4. Back Pain
Pain in the lower back is one of the most common medical complaints worldwide. It is a non-specific symptom associated with many conditions. It can have an acute onset which is usually seen in conditions affecting the musculature of the back, but sometimes it can have an insidious onset which makes it harder to diagnose.
Conditions like kidney stones and kidney infections are known to cause pain in the costovertebral angle. This point is located on the back, where the ribs meet with the spine. Tenderness is usually present as well. Other conditions like urinary tract infections (UTI) may cause pelvic pain to appear.
