Back Pain And Pain In Lower Ribs After Donating Plasma. Could This Be Related To Kidney Problem?
I donated plasma yesterday. First time in almost a year. As soon as it was done I felt pain on both sides of my back by my lower rIbs as I was sitting up. It still hurts. No other symptoms. Has never happened before. I'm concerned, any suggestions why. Could it be something with my kidneys?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The back pain and pain in the ribs could be due to an electrolyte fluid imbalance caused by plasma donation. You can have plenty of electrolyte rich fluids orally and see if it helps.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
