Is left low back pain a sign of kidney failure?

Question
Hello doctor, I have been having low back pain on my left side for about 1 month now, and my left leg is tired, 3 months ago I had a routine examination and abdominal ultrasound, the left kidney has 2 stones. and no other problems on kidney imaging. Now I feel low back pain and leg fatigue, is it kidney failure? I hope you can give me some advice, thank you!

Hi, kidney failure is usually expressed as increased blood creatinine (due to poor elimination). And your back pain symptoms are most likely caused by left kidney stones. You should go to the doctor for tests and repeat ultrasound to assess the extent of the impact of left kidney stones.
