Question
I’ve been experiencing lower back pain for the past half month, and it turns out the pain is located near the kidneys. I’m worried whether I might have kidney disease. Could you please tell me what kind of tests I need to confirm the diagnosis, and what types of kidney diseases are there, and is it difficult to cure once you have it?
Answer
Kidney pain is not always a sign of kidney disease. The examination of kidney disease should be based on the etiology, pathogenesis, histological type, or clinical manifestation, and currently, there are mainly two classification methods: clinical and pathological. For pediatric kidney diseases, timely treatment should be administered after diagnosis, along with adjustments to diet and lifestyle habits.
