Low back pain is a symptom common to many vertebral and extravertebral affections. The origin of low back pain mostly derives from a pathology localized in the spine, as in the case of degenerative lesions, neoplastic lesions, infections, fractures, metabolic diseases such as osteoporosis, or more rarely, rheumatological diseases. The causes of extravertebral low back pain may be renal, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, or of the female genital apparatus. The authors present a series of clinical aspects which must always be taken into consideration in order to avoid errors in the diagnosis and evaluation of a patient with low back pain.
腰痛是许多脊柱和脊柱外疾病常见的症状。腰痛的起源大多源于脊柱局部的病变，如退行性病变、肿瘤性病变、感染、骨折、代谢性疾病（如骨质疏松症），或更罕见的风湿性疾病。脊柱外腰痛的原因可能是肾脏、胰腺、胃肠道或女性生殖器官的问题。作者介绍了一系列临床情况，在诊断和评估腰痛患者时必须始终予以考虑，以避免出现错误。
