Renal Colic
Usually kidney stones. Kidney stones are small pieces of calcium which, if small enough can travel down the urethra - and possibly cause a blockage.
this could be caused by urine backing up to a kidney because of blockage .if there is no hydronephroses then the right kidney could be compensating for a smaller left kidney

The medical term for this pain is renal colic. my sister had kidney stones and she said it felt like someone stuck a screwdriver in her kidney and started twisting it around and around, until she took morfien. now she drinks eight glasses of water a day.
Ureteric obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This blockage can be caused by kidney stones, tumors, or other conditions, and can lead to symptoms such as pain, urinary frequency, and kidney damage if not treated. Treatment can include medications, procedures to remove the blockage, or surgery.
There's a kidney stone at the "exit door" of your right kidney, and it might have caused some blockage.
Hydroureteronephrosis is a medical condition characterized by the swelling of the kidney and ureter due to a build-up of urine. This can be caused by a blockage in the urinary tract, such as a kidney stone or a tumor, leading to a backup of urine in the kidneys. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the blockage to restore normal urine flow and prevent further complications.
Blockage of a ureter would cause urine to collect in the kidney, leading to potential complications such as infection, swelling, and decreased kidney function. Prompt medical attention is required to address the blockage and prevent further damage.
Renal colic is typically caused by the passage of a kidney stone through the urinary tract, rather than inflammation of the kidney itself. The pain from renal colic is due to the stone obstructing the flow of urine, leading to pressure and spasms in the urinary system. Inflammation of the kidney can result from various conditions, such as infections or autoimmune disorders, but it is not the primary cause of renal colic.
Swelling of the kidney, often from reflux of urine from bladder back up to kidney, or from blockage of ureter due to stone, etc.
Being a sufferer of kidney stones myself, I know that, if the stones are not causing blockage, then it is perfectly safe and un-harmful to the kidney to have three stones a year. However, if the stones are trying to pass at the same time, or are causing blockage, then a problem may occur and you should consult your doctor immediately to assess the problem.
