Now. : This may not be true back pain with those findings seen in terms of the kidney and the ureter with the hydronephrosis . It could be referred pain from an obstructing kidney stone or other issue. You need to get this worked up further with your doctor possibly including further tests like an ivp or intravenous pyleogram.
