The location of back pain in kidney disease is usually located at the costochondral angle, which is the angle formed by the 12th rib and the spine, also known as the kidney area.
Patients with kidney stones, pyelonephritis, and chronic nephritis can experience pain in the kidney area or renal percussion pain. Doctors can use fingers, palms and other parts of the hand to percuss the angle of the ribs and spine. If the patient has pain in the kidney area, the patient needs further examination to clarify the diagnosis and target treatment. However, kidney percussion needs to be operated by specialized doctors to prevent misdiagnosis.
Patient’s back pain is not necessarily kidney disease, but also may be related to lumbar muscle strain, lumbar muscle fibrositis, rheumatoid and other diseases, it is recommended that patients with back pain go to local professional hospitals as soon as possible, diagnosed as early as possible to avoid omission of diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and to prevent delays in the condition.
