What Causes Bruise And Pain Over Kidney Area?
I was hospitalized earlier this year with a kidney infection. In the past two days the right side of my back (over the kidney area) has been hurting and I just noticed today that there is a bruise over that area. Is this cause to worry? Another kidney infection maybe?

hello, bruise over skin is caused due to bleeding under skin in that particular region. Normally kidney infection wont cause bleeding. It can be because of some bleeding disorder or any superficial bleeding.
I would suggest you to consult a doctor and get an coagulation profile checked. Also get an USG scan of abdomen and that local area where bruise has occurred. Thank you
