Kidney: There are several diseases that can cause pain in this area. Kidney stones are the first thing that came to mind when i read your question but infection (like shingles) broken rib and mush more need to be considered. See your doctor.

Not clear: This is a non specific pain. Can be kidney related or back issue. See a doctor. Need imaging and exam.
