What Causes Prominent Veins Along With Kidney Pain?

I was dx'd with a kidney infection last week and have been taking antibiotics since then. I have had a low grade headache since Thursday (2/10-4/10) and now I noticed that the veins in the volar side of my right arm (the side with the kidney pain) are extremely prominent, like someone drew on me with a marker. Should I be concerned?

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Yes. prominent veins and kidney problem are very much related. If kidney involvement is associated with protein leakage in urine it associates with a condition called thrombosis where prominent vessels is clinical feature. Consult nephrologist as early as possible. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
