Should I Be Concerned About The Kidney Pain?

I have been having moderate to severe kidney pain for the last couple of weeks. I recently discovered a bruise on my skin above the area where my kidney is. I've also been nauseous and very fatigued. I was in the emergency room for what turned out to be ovarian cysts, but the blood tests did show an elevated bun/cr ratio of 23 and a glom filt rate (gfr) of 94. I am a 37 year old female with no real health issues besides endometriosis. Should I be concerned about the kidney pain?

Hi, welcome to HCM.
pain in the kidney region does not necessarily due to kidney.
Large ovarian cyst and endometriosis can cause pain in kidney region.
Elevated BUN/Cr ratio suggests component of dehydration in your body and not a kidney dysfuction necessarily.
Ovarian cyst and endometriosis can produce dehydration/blood loss.
So, don't get worried. Treat dehydration and follow Gynecologist's advise for cyst.
Check basic urine report also.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
