Deficiency of
vitamin D has been linked with many musculoskeletal manifestations, loin pain
being one of the most unconventional ones. It is mostly caused due to weakenedmuscles and chronic pain in the flank. It is thus imperative to analyse the
problems associated with the skeletal muscles before confirming loin pain as a
result of renal complications.

| Pain in the Loin Region |
The spectrum of
diseases that present with loin (flank) pain is wide. It includes kidney and
ureteric stone, pyelitis, pyelonephritis, peri-nephric abscess, cystitis,
salpingitis, paoillary necrosis, ureteric obstruction by either structure,
blood clot, neoplasm or retroperitoneal fibrosis. Cystic diseases of the kidney
together with neoplasms are other causes of dull aching loin pains. Trauma and
infarction of the kidney cause acute loin pain while vesicoureteric reflux
represent one of the causes of long term loin pain that usually exaggerates
during the act of micturition.
