Especially for patients suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease, they should pay much more attention on waist pain than others, because the painful feeling may be caused by urinary tract infection or Kidney Stone caused by growing cysts, or even renal cell carcinoma can be one of the causes. Patients who suffer from light pain may feel abdominal swelling and discomfort, while patients with serious condition may feel seriously painful. Such pain can be worsened after strenuous exercise. Waist pain may be caused by pressure on renal parenchyma or renal hilus resulting from growing and increasing cysts. Sharp pain always refers to complications of Kidney Stone, hematomas or obstruction caused by renal bleeding, infections and malignant tumor, etc.
