Can Stage 3 Kidney Disease Cause Left Flank Pain?
I have stage 3 kidney disease and am looking for answers. I also have a history of Hyperparathyroidism, hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, kidney stones, and past history of ano-rectal cancer, no surgery required. Please tell me if my left flank pain, pain in my legs and buttocks are related to the kidney thing, how it can be fixed, or if it can. My M.D. is hard to reach.

Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your history, i would like to rule out kidney stone first.
Kidney pain is not a feature of stage 3 kidney disease as such.
Pain source can be of spine origin.
Basic urine report with culture, and CT scan KUB can help us to rule out above possibilities.
Then you can consult your MD with above reports or you can communicate with me also.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
