Your kidney problem can cause a dull mild to severe pain in the loin region of the back due to pyelonephritis of hydonephrosis. This pain will go ones the infection settles down. You may also require some procedure like DJ stenting depending on the pathology of kidney disease. You should consult a uologist for this problem
