I have symptomatic right sided floating kidney. very painful. should ii have surgery?

Nephroptosis: Common in thin women, the excessive mobility you describe often resulted in surgery to "tack" the kidney up in the past. The pain comes on when the kidney is able to drop down on standing, kinking off the ureter and resulting in dietl's crisis. If other more common causes (stone, chronic infection, obstruction or other organ systems) then a laparoscopic tacking (nephropexy) can be performed.
