CKD means the slow loss of renal function and without effective treatment, kidney will eventually loss all its functions such as filtration function, excretion function, secretion function, dilution function and concentration function. Therefore, a malfunctioning pair of kidneys will lead to build up of waste within the blood and this can lead to the affected person feeling sick.
As kidneys are located near to the lower back area, there must be some relationships between Back Pain and Kidney Disease. When the CKD is associated with kidney stones, the excessive back pain may be appear, which is because the kidney stones are not able to fit in the ureter and so get stuck. Another reason for back pain appearing among people with CKD may be renal inflammation, which in turn is often caused because of an infected kidney, which not only can cause back pain, but also lead to aggravation of CKD. Moreover, back pain for people with Polycystic Kidney Disease, a common hereditary kidney disease, are mostly inevitable. Enlargement of cysts will drag the renal capsule, leading to the back pain. In addition, if the cysts rupture because of the crash on the location of kidney, then back pain will appear as well.
The leading causes for occurrence of CKD are persistent high blood pressure and high blood sugars, say Hypertension and Diabetes. They can cause acute pain in the kidneys. Therefore, to deal with CKD and back pain, it is necessary for you to do your best to bring the blood pressure under control and also ensure your blood sugars levels are at normal and stable range.
