Kidney Disease? Please help.?

I randomly get this pain around the area where my left kidney would be...maybe once a month or once every two months. I tried researching what it could be and it seems like there is more of a possibility of it being kidney disease than a kidney stone. Are there treatments for kidney disease or will it have to be removed? Also, does anyone know what tests they'll have to run to find out if I even have kidney disease? PLEASE help.
Thanks
Answer:
Mm..if the disease is related to kidney,then you wouldn't feel the pain at your front area,but at the back of your kidney.It may be something else.I also get that pain(exactly like yours).But usually,i'll have A LOT of 'white fluid'(i dunno the english words for it)while,before,and after the pain.But i'm not sure if this related to the pain coz we have our ovary at the right,not at the left.So,that's is all i know.Meet your doctor,it would be better.
Self-diagnosing always leads to anxiety. Why don't you get yourself a good night's sleep and in the morning, call your doctor and make an appointment to discuss your discomfort.
I am just wondering if your water works (If peeing)is ok. If you think that you are not peeing that much, consider seeing your doctor and have a blood test done. The doctor would look into the creatinine, urea and potassium levels in your blood. he will also check your full blood count if everything is ok. It really depends with what is the cause of your kidney disease. If it is just kidney stone or something you have to see a urologist instead of a nephrologist.
The above answerer is right about self diagnosing. It can just scare the daylights out of you. There are a lot of different kidney diseases, and most of them are treatable. The most likely scenario is a mild infection, or an injury. Neither are very serious. When you bring it up to the doctor, he'll have you give a urine sample. Then, someone like me will have the pleasure of chemically testing it and looking at it under the microscope. Depending on what they find, you and your doctor will settle on a course of treatment. They may also take a blood sample, depending on your specific symptoms and how the doc likes to do things. I am 99.999% sure you're not going to lose a kidney. You'll probably just end up on antibiotics. Which is so nothing. Now, get a good night's sleep, and call and make a doctor's appointment at your earliest convenience.
