Causes

*Because the kidney is directly anterior to this area, tapping

disturbs the inflamed tissue, causing pain.
Inner structure of kidney

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A frontal section through kidney shows two

distinct regions:

1. Superficial (outer) renal cortex

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

2. Deep (inner region) is called renal medul a

Together, renal cortex & renal pyramids constitute renal parenchyma.
