Pain is the biggest problem in this condition. In some people it can be nothing other than an ache that disappears with time, but in others it can be a severe pain that comes and goes for years. Some people can be incapacitated by the pain, requiring time off work and strong painkillers. Unfortunately, no treatment has been found to cure the loin pain haematuria syndrome. Many different types of operation have been tried to treat this condition over the years, but none have met with permanent success.
Surgery sometimes gives rise to a short period without pain, but it usually returns.
If the pain is one sided, operations to remove the kidney from that side usually result in pain starting on the other side. Removal of one or both kidneys for a condition that does the kidney no harm in the long run, is not recommended. Any painkiller can be used for treating the loin pain haematuria syndrome. One of the biggest problems with regards this condition however is that the use of stronger and stronger painkillers can result in problems of drug dependency and addiction. The best medical plan is to give reassuring advice and whatever practical support is needed in a sympathetic fashion, without always giving in to patient demands.
