Overview
Right flank pain is a sensation of discomfort, distress or agony in the right side of the abdomen below the rib and above the ilium, generally beginning posteriorly or in the midaxillary line. It usually arises from the right kidney, its capsule or right ureter. But similar pain is sometimes caused by extraurinary abnormalities.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
- Acute tubular necrosis
- Ischemic colitis
- Ovarian torsion
- Renal abscess
- Renal artery dissection
- Renal cyst rupture or hemorrhage
- Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
Common Causes
- Abdominal muscle spasm
- Acute pyelonephritis
- Nephrolithiasis
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Renal cyst
- Urinary tract infection[1]
