What Causes Persistant Pain In Flank And Back Along With Nausea?

Hello, I am a healthy 32 year-old mother of 3. For the past several months I have had moderate-severe upper right quadrant pain accompanied by mild nausea. A visit to the doctor revealed some thickening in the wall of the gallbladder. From that time the symptoms return weekly and last only or a few hours. Lately the pain has been in the right flank/back and has not subsided; the pain is accompanied by nausea, fatigue, visible protein in my urine and an overall unwell feeling. The pain has been constant for 2 days accompanied by the other symptoms so I went to my doctor. I will go in for a CT scan as they suspect it s a renal issue. Any theories or possible causes? Thank You !

i would suggest you to go for CT scan as it can find the real cause ... these symptoms could be of gall bladder diseases . it is highly unlikely to be renal issues anyways u check ur renal profile
