Patient's question:
I've been going to the bathroom frequently lately, often feeling the urge to urinate, and my lower back also hurts. Is it because of kidney failure that I have frequent urination and lower back pain? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You may develop uremia if you have chronic kidney disease yourself. If you have never had kidney problems before, you would never suddenly experience recurring uremia. Frequent urination and lower back pain alone cannot be used to diagnose uremia. Recurring uremia can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, edema, and anemia. The causes of frequent urination or lower back pain may be due to abnormalities in the kidneys, muscle strain in the lower back, or trauma to the kidney area in the lower back.
