What Causes Kidney And Back Area Bubbles With Discomfort?

Hi I have bubbles in my lower back around my kidney. I have had heart transplant and been on anti rejection drugs for nearly a year now. This has started occuring over the last couple of weeks and although I have no pain is annoying. I had malnutrition prior to transplant but am eating well now and have good weight.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The symptoms of experiencing bubbles in the back area is not completely understandable in the absence of a clinical examination. Your health has otherwise been unremarkable and you are on immunosuppressive medicines after the heart transplant.

Any fluid collection in the abdomen is important to be analyzed and probably an ultrasound scan or a CT scan might help in looking out for any such condition. Since you do not have pain and fever therefore it is less likely that you have any infection in the abdomen. You are also maintaining your nutrition and fluids and this is to be continued. Please do not worry.
