A member asked:
What kind off pain do you get when you have a bad kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: A "bad kidney" doesn't necessarily generate pain. Sometime patients come in with huge kidney tumors and never had a lck of pain. Sudden kidney blockage (kidney stone) or kidney infections typically give kidney pain. The easiest wast o check out your kidney "health" is with a blood test, urinalysis and an ultrasound.
