Kidney problems
The kidneys help to clean your blood by filtering out waste and making urine. When there’s a problem with how your kidneys are working, you can get symptoms affecting your stomach and urination, including kidney pain.
Signs of a kidney problem include:
- Blood in your urine
- Kidney pain (under your ribs, in your back, or along the side of your waist)
- High temperature
- Feeling less hungry or losing weight
- Feeling sick or vomiting
- A lump or swelling in the stomach, back, under the ribs or neck
- Sweating
If you have these symptoms, see a specialist as soon as possible. Kidney symptoms can be caused by a range of conditions, including a kidney infection, kidney stones or kidney cancer.
These may sound concerning, but there are a range of treatments to help. The sooner you see a specialist, the sooner you get the answers and care you need.
