Upon examination, a classic "blue-dot sign" (ie, a tender nodule with
blue discoloration on the upper pole of the testis) may be seen; this
finding on the upper scrotum is a typical finding in torsion of the
appendix testis (see the image below). However, in the acute setting,
differentiating testicular torsion from torsion of the appendix is often
impossible, and scrotal exploration should be performed whenever the
diagnosis is uncertain

Wiki:
Prehn's sign (named after urologist Douglas T. Prehn)[1] is a medical diagnostic indicator that was once believed to help determine whether the presenting testicular pain is caused by acute epididymitis or from testicular torsion.[2] Although elevation of the scrotum when differentiating epididymitis from testicular torsion is of clinical value, Prehn's sign has been shown to be inferior to Doppler ultrasound to rule out testicular torsion.[3]
According to Prehn's sign, the physical lifting of the testicles relieves the pain of epididymitis but not pain caused by testicular torsion.[4]

- Negative Prehn's sign indicates no pain relief with lifting the affected testicle, which points towards testicular torsion which is a surgical emergency and must be relieved within 6 hours.
- Positive Prehn's sign indicates there is pain relief with lifting the affected testicle, which points towards epididymitis.

If an adolescent child comes in with acute onset of abd pain & vomitting, check the testicles!!! (don't jump to gastroenteritis!!!)
Headache could also be a symptom of dialysis

decline in plasma osmolarity in severe uremia could shift water into brain cells—causing swelling and DDS.
