What Can Be Sharp Abdominal Pain Associated Diarrhea In A Renal Transplanted Patient?

I have had diarrhea for three weeks now associated with abdominal pains to the mid front area, but also having attacks to the right upper area (not sure if it s my gallbladder or liver). I am a renal transplant recipient as well. I have no nausea, vomiting or fever. The pains on my right side have been occurring for about 2 weeks now and they are sharp pains which come and go. What does it sound like?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Diarrhea and upper right pain can be caused by gallstones. The pain usually radiates to the back. Similar to gallstones symptoms can give chronic pancreatitis.
Both conditions usually give nausea, low appetite. Symptoms can appear after a fatty foods, spicy foods, alcohol.
Diarrhea and abdominal pain can be also a symptom of gastrointestinal infection. Please note that every diarrhea which lasts longer than 48 hours needs to be checked with stool tests.
As you are kidney transplanted patients, such symptoms can appear due to medicines you take regularly.

I suggest you to visit your doctor, have blood work, abdominal ultrasound, urine analysis and stool tests done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
