[|Human|] my husband is 43 yrs old, and was born with one fully functioning kidney and a non functioning kidney. He had a stint put in 13 years ago, due to the ureter closing off. The stint was removed a few weeks later. He has had no problems since. Now, he is having a lot of pain in the right flank area. It is painful to the touch. He keeps insisting it isn t his kidney because the pain is not the same. He is a stubborn man...any advice?
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. You have not specified about which kidney is functioning and which side stent was placed in 13 years ago. The pain in flank is mostly due to HY Chat Doctor. 1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis3) DTPA scan of the kidneys .4) Intravenous Paleography to assess the kidney function on both sides. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis
