Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Elevated human chorionic gonadotropin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease has been studied in women with kidney problems. In a report based on a series of 5 women out of 62 with chronic kidney disease, who had a positive HCG test on routine pre-transplant screening at a single transplant center. Detailed investigation showed elevated HCG levels the cause for which is still not unexplained. Going by this study there a cause for your HCG to be high and having some form of kidney disease. It is suggested that you discuss this point in detail and know if you kidneys need attention. The pain also needs to be investigated by doing imaging investigations like ultrasound scan or CT scan and MRI scan for in detail analysis.
