What causes sharp pain in kidney area?
Patient: Earlier today I developed a very sudden sharp pain in my right kidney area. It quickly became unbearable, to the point of having difficulty to breathe and feeling nauseaus. I drank a large glass of water and laid down and eventually the pain subsided, though it remains dull and bearable. I have no history of kidney disease and my temperature has been normal throughout. My urine after the attack looked yellow but not unusual, after drinking plenty of fluids it s now clear. Doctor: HelloThanks for query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have pain in right  flank due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter.However this can be confirmed only on Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis.Consult qualified Urologist for proper evaluation and further treatment.Dr.Patil.
