How To Treat Inflated Kidney While Having Kidney Disease Stage 3?

my husband has Kidney disease stage III. He has been experiencing pain in the lower back left side. We were in the emergency on Tuesday but they told us that he did not have kidney stones, not infection, but that kidneys were a little inflated. They gave him pain meds, but today he is still experiencing pain (stabling like pain in his lower left back side).

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your husband's history, I as a nephrologist can fully understand your concern.
Pain in left kidney area can be due to many cause apart from kidney.
Sonography sometime can not able to pick up small stone or stone in lower part of ureter.
Do basic urine report, CBC, S.creatinine, S. lipase and CT scan without contrast.
Maintain adequate hydration.
Aviod unsafe painkiller (NSAIDS)
Then consult your nephrologist or you can communicate with me further with reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
