What Does Pain Around The Kidney Area Along With Nausea Indicate?
Good evening Dr. Rynne, I have been having pain in my left kidney and often accompanied by nausea. It seems to occur when I have had a lot of water or triggered by one glass of alcohol. (interestingly enough, not red wine though) I have had a blood test that showed no indications of anything wrong as well as no blood or protein in my urine. I have recently completed a 24 hour urine collection test but have not heard the results as of yet. He was suspecting kidney stones and that is why he ordered the collection. I do not have a diet that is typical of kidney stones and no family history of this but I know it is still possible. I was hoping to get other possible scenarios so when I meet with him, I can ask pertinent questions or bring to light other possibilities. Thank you for your time. Susan
