Pain on both sides of the waist may be caused by kidney disease, such as acute tubular necrosis. However, pain on both sides of the waist is more likely to be caused by lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation.
Bilateral renal diseases such as acute tubular necrosis and pyelonephritis can lead to interstitial edema, renal congestion, and the bilateral renal peritoneum is pulled, causing symptoms such as lumbar pain and lumbago. Therefore, the pain on both sides of the waist may be caused by kidney diseases.
However, not all the pain on both sides of the waist is caused by kidney disease. There are many reasons for pain on both sides of the waist, including lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar spondylolysis, etc. Patients need to go through further examination, such as lumbar spine nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, blood routine, biochemistry and so on, to determine the cause of the pain on both sides of the waist.
Therefore, patients with symptoms of bilateral lumbar pain should go to the hospital in a timely manner, complete the relevant examinations, and under the guidance of the doctor to determine the cause of the disease and then give targeted treatment.
