In general, excessive work-related stress does not cause kidney pain. Kidney pain may stem from conditions such as renal tumors or kidney stones, or it may be due to low back pain associated with kidney deficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Prompt medical evaluation and accurate diagnosis are essential. A color Doppler ultrasound examination is recommended, along with urinalysis to assess kidney function and rule out abnormalities. Importantly, if kidney pain occurs, avoid self-medicating with analgesics indiscriminately, as this may adversely affect renal function. Instead, seek appropriate diagnostic testing first to identify the underlying cause.
