A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: As urologists, we are commonly asked to evaluate pts with back/flank pain to determine whether source is the kidneys or something else like neuromusculoskeletal in origin. Most kidney problems that are associated with pain (infection, stone, tumor, obstruction) are associated with an abnormal urinalysis (significant blood and or leukocytes). If still in doubt, ultrasound or ct imaging will answer.
