Prolonged standing-induced renal pain is typically caused by traction pain resulting from significant downward displacement of the kidneys during upright posture. It may also stem from underlying conditions such as prostatic disorders, lumbar muscle strain, or urinary tract infections. In such cases, patients should undergo diagnostic tests—such as urinalysis or CT imaging—to confirm the diagnosis and then receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a physician.
