Pain in the lower right side of your back
could be one of several possible
gastrointestinal, billiary or renal
disorders. You can first visit a GP
(General Practitioner) for a physical
examination. Blood analyses (Er, Ly, Tr,
Hgb, sedimentation, liver status, urea,
creatinin) will be performed. An
ultrasound is also necessary to exclude
gall stones, kidney stones, or possible
liver conditions. An endoscopic
gastroscopy and Helicobacter
pillory-serology is necessary to exclude
gastritis, peptic ulcer, duodenitis,
tumors… This doesn’t necessarily mean
that all these procedures must be done...
but they are the appropriate diagnostic
steps.
