A member asked:
If my 72 year old mother's kidneys are only working 31 percent could that make her hurt in different areas of her body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Kidney disease does not hurt in general, only kidney stone can be painful in flank area/groin, there are some other rare problems that can hurt but patients with chronic kidney disease like your mother should not hurt or in other words the pain has different etiology not kidney.
