Blood in urine is a sign of a really bad bladder infection or kidney stones..I had kidney stones with my first and never peed blood..got kidney stones again this pregnancy was peeing blood they said bladder infection but I ended up in hospital 3 days later with kidney stone attack so I either had both or was trying to pass stones..I would call my doctor so they can get a urine sample while you are peeing the blood out..
m not going to be 100% positive on it, but if your son drank cranberry juice (lots of it) check into the effects of the oxalates(in cranberries) and the calcium(in your urine) building up to possibly form kidney stones, the last question on the linked page will be helpful if that's the case.

If not, the doctors could be just concerning about kidney infection due to the bladder infection which can get very serious.
INCREASE UR FLUIDS INTAKE AND TAKE NSAIDS FOR PAIN.
Thanks for the info. I am a 30 year old female, and I do have extensive history of kidney stones in my family (although I don't know what type of stones they were). I have been straining my urine during these episodes and I've yet to find a stone. I have had sediment with particles that look like sand along with what looks like skin/tissue fragments. I haven't noticed at what time the blood appears but I have passed several clots in the urine.
The last surgery I had was in 2006. I also have had/have kidney stones in my left kidney, I passed a 13mm one in June 2006. In the past year I have not had any reoccuring problems with my obstuction and stones, although I still have 6mm stone in my left kidney. This past week, I did however urinate large amount of blood, my urine was cola colored. With my history I decided to go to the emergency room cause I was very concerned.
Causes can be divided according to the affected organ and they are Kidney conditions (infection, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease), Bladder conditions (cystitis, bladder polyp, bladder tumor), Urethral conditions (Sexually transmitted diseases, urethral injury) and certain bleeding disorders. When the blood in the urine is at the beginning of urination, it most likely comes from the urethra, (the tube from the bladder to the outside).
The common causes for painless bleeding in the urine are infections of the kidney/bladder, disorders of the kidney/bladder, certain blood disorders, strenuous exercise and certain medications. The commonest causes are urinary tract infection or kidney stones. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment. He may do tests like urine analysis, blood tests, X rays, ultrasonography, CT scan and sometimes cystoscopy to detect the cause for painless hematuria.
blood in urine can be a sign of a UTI or kidney stones , so it's something you will want to call your OB about so they can run some tests.
Hi,
Hematuria or blood in the urine may be a symptom of recurrent kidney stones. Are there other signs or symptoms present? There is an increased chance of stone recurrence with patients with history of stone formation. A urinalysis and ultrasound of the KUB may be able to help with the diagnosis. It would be best to see your doctor for furtehr evaluation and management.
Take care and keep us posted.
I have been to the doctor about my lower back pain and he took a urine test and I had blood in my urine so he sent me to the er and they ran urine test on me to and blood work and they sent me home and said there wasn't nothing wrong with me now I am fustereated and don't now what to do please give me an answer.
you could have pain, no pain or w/ blood in urine or w/out.
An X-ray can easily rule out kidney stones. They will show up on the x-ray, looking back I wished I would have just asked for x-rays b/c the CT scan was TOO expensive for me as well. My office was able to let me make payments over time so that helped.
Now the reason to do the scan is to make sure there isn't any cancer that an x-ray will miss.
Looks like its just an irritation..most likely from the UTI i had 2-3weeks ago...she said according to tests there is no infection, so shes putting me on some anti fungal medicine for yeast, not antibiotic so thats good. Hopefully that will stop the irritation.
The most common cause of red blood cells in the urine is a bladder infection. Other caused such as kidney stones, menstruation contamination of the sample, kidney disease, and bladder of kidney cancer. A microscopic urine analysis is usually done to confirm the presents of red blood cells and urine culture is often done to rule out infection. If red cells are present in significant numbers, a CT scan of the kidneys and bladder are done.
I just got back from seeing my midwife and today I found out that I have blood in my urine when they test it. What could cause that cause I'm not in any pain at all when I use the bathroom and my back doesn't hurt. You couldn't even see any blood either. They had to do some lab work and I won't know until Tuesday if they find anything. What could cause this?
