What Causes Right Sided Abdominal Pain In Between The Hipbone And Rib Cage?
Renal evaluation required
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns about right quadrant pain.
Following is my reply:
1) This pain appears likely to be arising from dilated renal pelvis ureter dilatation.
2) The question that needs to be answered is why there is dilatatiion of ureter and renal pelvis? This happens if there is any obstruction to ureter below.
3) This obstruction is secondary to possible enlargement of ovary or uterus or any other mass pressing it below which needs to be checked.
4) If CT scan is not showing anything conclusive, please ask your doctor if an MRI can be performed.
5) This pain is definitely related to the renal changes as described.
6) Meanwhile I suggest you get renal function test ( blood test ) done. Get UA, BUN, Creatinine which will give additional information required to identify the type of renal lesion. Please get them done today if possible and send me the report.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Regards,
Dr. Soumya
