You probably have a kidney infection.  You should see a doctor.  Also try drinking more water and cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail, but real 100% cranberry juice) to flush out your system.

Could be many things. How low are we speaking? It could be kidneys, gall bladder, pulled muscles, or back pain. Did you do anything to cause the pain, perhaps an injury? If it comes on suddenly and is sharp, I'd go see a doc about it.  Good luck.

I'm not a doctor but I suggest you go see one because you could be in renal (kidney) failure.  Sounds like your kidneys are not flushing poisons from your body, like sodium.

yeah, too much protein in the blood is a major cause of kidney failure, but i think diabetics have kidney problems more due to poor circulation (i might be wrong on that though)

I really advise you go straight to the doctors. The place you say the pain is, is the area of the kidneys and I would guess the blood is coming from your urine. Call the NHS hotline now and check with them.\n\nGood luck!

You should probably drink more water, and read up on how your kidney's function.  The uric acid that is produced by your body is it's way of eliminating metabolic wastes.  Its not good to keep it.

A kidney infection or medically known as Pyelonephritis is caused by Strep infection which is a bacteria (E. coli, klebsiella, etc.) If you have one and havent seen a Dr. I urge that you do ASAP..Kidney infections are dangerous & nothing to take lightly...If left untreated, they can cause blood poisoning, loss of a kidney, or perhaps even death!!!

it may just be an infection or it could be a kidney stone....you need to see a doctor to know for sure.

I had one in  Feb 06....I am still having edema,feel lousy many days,get drained really easy and still bloated..but now can urinate...my was caused by severe allergic reactions to BP meds with dyes & sulfa in them.... allergic reactions affect the kidneys....I had 6 ER visits in 10 months due to the meds I was on & latex exposures\n My new cardiologist is doing  a blood test to see if it might be a rare tumor that is increasing the chemicals in my body,causing the water retension and sluggish kidneys...he also said depending on the extent of the kidneys artery damage,it may always be like this..it takes a long time for the kidneys to get back to normal...\n <itsnanceg@yahoo.com> if you want to chat with me when  you have a down day...Best wishes for a total recovery !!!

It hurts like hell!!  In my case it desolved before I got the pleasure and joy of actually peeing it out but that little stone ripping it's way through your kidney is one heckof a trip through pain.  Ask your doctor for some hefty pain killers before it starts too badly.

you may be loosing large amount of salt from the body by any form.You may need to have a blood test- serum electrolytes ,Renal fuction test. May be nothing serious.Second probelm is not a bad problem.

See an endocrinologist- you obviously have a hormone imbalance, too much testosterone.  Do not take herbs or seeds- they are very dangerous to your body, they can cause kidney or renal failure and you can die.  See a doctor ASAP, you probably are having more problems than you realize yet.

Large amounts of protein in your urine means that your body is not absorbing its nutrients properly, which could mean that there something not right with your kidney's. I would definitely go have it checked out by a Doctor.

I recently passed a KIDNEY stone. There is a tube, called the ureter, that connects the kidney to the bladder. It is very, very thin and lined with nerves. Imagine a little elf hacking his way out with a razor blade. I was on the verge of throwing up it was so painful. I had to be hospitalized. Prescription pain killers were not enough relief.\n\nMoral of the story - drink lots and lots of water and avoid the build up of calcium in the kidney. Oh ya, and don't eat stones.
