==Overview==
==Overview==
Right flank pain is a sensation of discomfort, distress or agony in the right side of the [[abdomen]] below the [[rib]] and above the [[ilium]], generally beginning posteriorly or in the midaxillary line.  It usually arises from the right [[kidney]], its capsule or the right [[ureter]].  Similar pain is sometimes caused by extraurinary abnormalities.

Overview

Right flank pain is a sensation of discomfort, distress or agony in the right side of the abdomen below the rib and above the ilium, generally beginning posteriorly or in the midaxillary line. It usually arises from the right kidney, its capsule or the right ureter. Similar pain is sometimes caused by extraurinary abnormalities.

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
