Hello and welcome to HCM,
The cause for pain in kidney region needs to determined so appropriate treatment can be instituted for the problem.
Pain in the kidney region can be due to kidney stones, musculoskeletal disorder etc.
Cranberry juice is good for health, however, it will not relieve the pain in kidney region.
Clinical assessment and relevant investigations are required to determine the cause of kidney pain.
A X-ray of kidney-ureter-bladder region and an ultrasound will help to determine presence or absence of stones in this region.
Thanks and take care
