pain.
Hello everyone, this is Katherine from 00Kidney.
The kidneys are one of the most important organs in the body and are essential for your
wellbeing.
Kidney pain should not be confused with lower back pain.
Muscle pain is usually associated with common back injuries and tends to be located in the
lower back.
Kidney pain is usually deeper in the body and in a higher position, closer to the rib
cage.
Kidney pain is usually on one side only - but can be both - and is a symptom of several
serious medical conditions.
What you should do to stop kidney pain depends on what's causing it.
Let's see how to identify and relieve kidney pain in 3 easy steps.
Step 1 - cause: Kidney infection Number one cause of kidney pain is urinary
tract infection UTIs are infections occurring anywhere in
the urinary tract - the bladder, the urethra, the prostate, the kidneys.
If you're experiencing symptoms like -burning when you urinate,
-frequent urge to urinate, -blood in the urine or
-fever in conjunction with kidney pain, a kidney
infection is the most probable cause.
Urinary tract infections treatments are usually prescribed by your primary care doctor.
Ciprofloxacin and Co-amoxiclav are antibiotics that will clear up the symptoms in a brief
period.
One of the best home remedies for kidney pain, backed by several researches, are cranberries.
Active compound proanthocyanidin works to prevent the adhesion of bacteria - particularly
E. coli - in the kidney cells and bladder wall.
Cranberry juice doesn't have enough active compound to fight a UTI - the use of cranberry
supplement capsules is preferable.

Step 2 - cause: kidney stones Kidney stones are one of the most common causes
of kidney pain.
They can cause sudden, severe flank pain.
It can come in waves and fluctuate in intensity Pain can also radiate down through the groin.
Other symptoms of kidney stones are - Nausea
- Vomiting - Blood in the urine
- Pain during urination - Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Persistent need to urinate - Urinating in small amounts
It is recommended to see a doctor immediately in cause of severe pain or blood in the urine.
Kidney Stones Treatment If the stones are small enough, drinking lots
of water will make them pass faster.
Thiazide diuretics are often prescribed together with pain medications.
When stones are too large to pass by themselves, a surgery or lithotripsy will be prescribed.
A combination of Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is the best home remedy
for kidney stones.
- Drink 2 ounces of organic lemon juice mixed with 2 ounces of extra-virgin olive oil
- Drink 2 glasses of water.
- wait half an hour - drink the juice of a lemon mixed with a
tablespoon of organic raw apple cider vinegar with two glasses of water
- Repeat the last step every hour until symptoms get better.
Step 3 cause: others There are other - less common but more severe
- causes of kidney pain to be considered.
- Kidney disease - Appendicitis
- Diverticulitis - Blockage in the urinary tract
- Gallbladder disease - Bladder cancer
- kidney cancer If you suspect one of these, contact your
primary care doctor as soon as possible.
In some cases kidney pain causes can be difficult to diagnose and several tests can be required.
Here is a tip from Michael Wright Always drink plenty of fluids.
This alone can relieve kidney pain in most of the cases.
Drinking 8 to 12 cups of water a day is a good habit when you're healthy.
In case of kidney stones or UTI you could have to drink even more water.
Water helps removing bacteria and dead tissue from bladder and kidneys, and can help passing
a kidney stone.
It also ensures a continuous flow through the urinary tract, preventing the growth of
bacteria.
This is all!
