Hello ,
Per say HCG will NOT cause any kidney pain . However it causes over stimulation of the ovaries which lies in the pelvis ( below the kidney )causing pelvic pain , which you may mis diagnose as kidney pain .
If persistent on a very rare note there is increased clotting tendency due to HCG , which if affects kidney arteries may cause kidney pain . So the likelihood is very rare .
