Loin Pain Referral Guidance

Urology – Loin Pain

Acute loin pain, due to an obstructed infected kidney is a life threatening condition requiring emergency treatment. Urgent investigation is also needed to exclude ureteric calculi, which may otherwise pass spontaneously before they are identified, and which have the potential to damage the kidney. Chronic loin pain may be of renal origin – stone disease, hydronephrosis or (less commonly) malignancy – or due to
musculoskeletal or GI disease (e.g. gallstones).
