[C]orals can be affected for many years, and the disease can affect multiple locations on a colony. Moreover, some of the largest and oldest coral colonies have been affected by YBD (Bruckner, 2001). Though the cause of YBD remains elusive, histological studies in affected corals have shown degenerative changes in tissues and cells. Scientists ... have found unusual crystalline material in the coral's gastric cavity (Santavy and Peters, 1997).

In most cases, kidney disease does not cause pain or discomfort near the kidneys. This is because there are very few nerves that sense pain in the kidney. There are some in the area surrounding the kidney.
