Characteristics of pain in kidney pathologyFor renal colic is characteristic of an acute paroxysmal pain. Pain with urolithiasis associated with urinary tract obstruction by calculi and violation of the outflow of urine. Occur enhanced peristalsis and spasm of the ureter, in addition, a stone with a sharp edge injures and irritates the nerve endings in the wall of the urinary tract.These changes are the cause of pain.

The pain caused by the inflammation of the kidneys is of different nature. Inflamed kidneys increase in volume, the fabric swells. The result stretched the renal capsule, which is many nerve endings. Tensile shell is the stimulation of these endings, which leads to pain. For pyelonephritis and Glomaroneia characterized by a dull aching sensation in the right or left lumbar region. In these diseases the pain is very pronounced, in contrast to kidney stones and diseases of the spine.

• General analysis of blood (in diseases of the spine usually there are no changes in kidney disease leukocytosis, anemia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate);
• urinalysis (increased or decreased relative density of urine, hematuria, pyuria, bacteriuria, increased salt content talking about kidney disease);
