Thanks for your query and an elucidated history.First remember non-functioning kidney can not cause the pain as there is no excretion so that there is no pressure development. Hence, you have to consult a General surgeon to get the diagnosis for the pain in the abdomen. Secondly, go for DTPA scan as non-functioning Kidney should not be kept as it may cause hypertension and other problems. Get this removed if the another kidney is normal on DTPA scan.
