Transplant Patient, On Regular Dialysis, Pain Under Ribs. Related To Spleen?

I dialyse 3times awk at local hospital here in UK, and am on transplant list. I have had a pain on left side under my ribs on and off for a couple of years, but ignored it. This morning it became quite sore when I move, seems like when I use stomache muscles, i e to sit up and to stand from sitting. I think it is related to my spleen and am concerned about my kidneys. Please do you have any anenswers?

Hello
It may or may not be related to spleen.
It may also related to left kidney.
first you should go for USG abdomen and X-ray chest examination.
CT Scan may also needed if required.
without the investigation and examination it is difficult to say some thing about your problem.
Go for investigation and contact again

ok
take care
