Is Kidney Pain A Side Effect Of HCG Diet?
I have had dialysis in the past and have always had kidney problems as well as gall bladder issues--recently I started taking HCG liquid supplements for weight loss and have been experiencing kidney pain.When I stopped the HCG drops, the pain stopped-- could the HCG have caused the pain?

Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Kindly avoid any more HCG drops,without informing your nephrologist.
For weight loss,why're you taking HCG drops.? Why the weight loss.?
First ensure your Hb,creatinine,RBS,LFT and electrolytes are normal.
You should see a nephrologist or Urologist,with these reports and also an
Ultrasound scan-KUB.
According to the reports,an expert advice can be given.
You may also send the reports here to me,as a direct question.
