What Causes Back Pain,low Urine Output And Jaundice?

my husband has had heart problems (arrythmia) for 10 years with medication- amioderone, beta- blockers etc.

gets back pain periodically- being sick, no urgency to pass urine for past 2 days & appears jaundiced.

Is this likely to be a kidney problem?

HI THANKS FOR POSTING YOUR QUERY.
YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE MOST LIKELY SUGGESTIVE OF A STONE/CALCULUS.A STONE IN THE URINARY TRACT IS LIKELY TO PRESENT WITH LOW BACKACHE,DIFFICULTY IN PASSING URINE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.
THIS STATE CAN BE TERMED AS "ACUTE URINARY RETENTION"
JAUNDICE CAN BE DUE TO COEXISTENT GALL STONES IN THE BILIARY TRACT CAUSED "OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE".
AN HIGH RESOLUTION CONTRAST ABDOMINAL COMPACT TOMOGRAGHY(CT) IS USEFUL TO EVALUATE BOTH THE DISORDERS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
RENAL STONE SIZE CAN BE ASSESSED AND TREATMENT CAN BE PLANNED ACCORDINGLY.RENAL STONES CAN BE REMOVED BY PCNL,ESWL.
ALSO HAVE REGULAR FOLLOW UP FOR YOUR HEART DISEASE.

CONCLUSIVE OPINION:
RENAL AND GALL STONES CAN BE THE CAUSE.

CONSULT EXPERT UROLOGIST FOR FURTHER MANAGEMENT.
THANK YOU.
