What Does Pain Around The Kidney And Spleen Area Indicate?

Hi I have Systemic Lupus and was diagnosed 35 years ago by my Rheumatologist. My question is can an Abdominal X-ray show enlargement of the spleen and kidney areas. I have been having horrible pain in these areas along with a small fever. I also have severe edema in my legs feet and ankles. I have been getting the run around from two doctors. I am now going back to the first rheumatologist that first diagnosed me with sysemic lupus hoping someone can finally help me.

Hello,

The abdominal Sonography is better for seeing kidneys and spleen. Lupus can affect kidneys, and leg edemas might be from kidney damage.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
