If you look at a chart
of human body you would recognize the two kidneys by its bean shape
lying in the back. These are our body’s filter. To maintain the
water and electrolyte balance in the body, they filter the blood
content of salt and water in the body. They remove the body waste
through urine.
The eruption of kidney pain has its
origin in some infection to the organ. Acute Pyelonephritis or in lay
man’s language kidney infection is one reason the other cause being
Renal Colic or Kidney Stone. The stone may be composed of calcium,
phosphate or oxalate.
The pain due to stone is unbearable. It
is felt every two minutes and may last from twenty minutes to an
hour.
The sensation of back
pain when kidney is afflicted can be attributed to the location of
the organ in the body. Kidneys are situated in the upper back region
of the body, on the side of the spine a little above the hips. The
inception of back pain is from the infected kidneys. It is attributed
to the muscles of the back or of the spine.
Once infected kidney can throb with
pain but the patient reads the body symptoms as those of simple back
pain. The patient can understand the origin of the pain by his own
activities. It would help him to give a more specific history to the
doctor.
Kidney back pain once originated is
continuous and piercing. The reason why it can be pin-pointed is
because kidney pain radiates. You may feel it while bending or
picking an object in the middle of the back. That is why it is
misleading.
A doctor on consultation will give
treatment depending on the size and location of the stone in the body
till such time the de-stabilizing kidney back pain has to borne with
courage.
