Lumbar kidney: clinical significance, diagnosis and treatment

Lumbar kidney is a pathological condition in which the kidney is located far beyond its normal places in the side: it can be either above or below the diaphragm, in the groin area or between the thighs. Lumbar kidneys may be discovered incidentally during routine medical examinations or during treatment for another condition. However, they can cause serious health problems such as pulmonary congestion and urinary tract infections. In this article we will discuss the concept and signs of lumbar kidneys, methods of their diagnosis and treatment.

***What is a lumbar kidney?***

Kidney dystopia is a congenital abnormal process when the kidney is located outside the normal areas of the lateral abdominal cavity. Primary lumbar (lumbar) kidney is a dystopia, which means that the kidney is located in the area of ​​the lower back or side. The kidneys are located above the upper end of the abdominal cavity and around the lower back, near the ventral ribs. Therefore, the kidneys are located directly in front of the peritoneum. Although the lumbar kidneys develop when the kidneys begin to form inside the womb, they are usually unaffected as the body compensates for the abnormality during early childhood. Problems



A lumbar kidney is an anatomical anomaly in which the kidney is not in its usual place in the retroperitoneum, but is located in the lumbar region. This abnormality can be caused by various factors such as genetic abnormalities, trauma or abnormal development during embryonic development.

Symptoms and diagnosis of psoas kidney disease can vary from person to person. Some people may experience lower back or abdominal pain, which may be related to movement or pressure on the kidney. Others may not experience any symptoms if the kidney is located deep enough in the body. Ultrasound or computed tomography is usually used to diagnose a lumbar kidney.

Treatment for lumbar kidneys depends on the type of abnormality and its severity. In some cases, conservative treatment, such as lowering blood pressure, may be sufficient
