Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My husband has been having pains in his right side and lower back where his kidneys are. The pain in his kidneys feels like they have badly bruised. The pains are getting worse and lasting longer. He has had a ultrasound, Hida Scan to check gallbladder , liver , pancreas . All came out fine but he is still have pains. I suggested a Nephrologist . What tests would a Nephrologist possibly order?
[|AI|]  Based on your description I am uncertain as to the extent of work up that has been done other than a HIDE scan and an ultrasound.  To evaluate for and exclude kidney causes of his pain, I would suggest a CAT scan of the abdomen and pelvis as well as an urinalysis. If these are reviewed by a physician and are deemed to be normal, it is unlikely that his pain is due to kidney related issues.  If there are no other internal organ abnormalities noted on CAT scan, I would suggest speaking with your primary care
