Question 5

why am i frequently voiding? not a lot of water intake, blood sugar is 117, and urinalysis was all negative. slight pain in left hip/ pelvic area. could this be kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Was the blood sugar you reported, fasting? If yes, it is in the pre-diabetic range. You should get an A1c test. It is not feasible to provide a more meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to consult a doctor in person.

Question 6

can kidney stones cause your pulse or blood pressure to raise ?

Accepted Answer

Indirectly.: The pain caused by obstruction of the urinary system by stones can cause the blood pressure and heart rate to rise. This can also occur if there is an associated infection.  In the absence of symptoms like pain, we don't commonly associate stones with cardiovascular signs. That being said, there is evidence that obesity, high-fat diet, & sodium are risk factors for both hypertension and stones.

Question 7

can kidney stones sometimes cause you to cough up blood?

Accepted Answer

No: Kidney stones can cause blood in urine, but not from lungs or throat.

Question 8

my husband started  yesterday when he pees there is some blood. now today has small clots a while ago. could this be kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Gross hematuria: Gross hematuria is visible blood in urine while microhematuria is blood in urine only found upon testing. Painful bloody urine can be caused by kidney stones &amp;  infections (bladder &amp; kidney). Painless blood urine is worrisome for bladder cancer, especially in smokers.

Question 9

i had blood in my urine could it be that i'm taking calcium? i also had pain on my right upper back i was told it was kidney stone. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Is that so?: If an imaging study was performed that showed you have a kidney stone, then that's probably why you have the blood in your urine. If there's no imaging study, you don't know if it's a kidney stone or not, and getting imaged would probably be worthwhile. Why are you taking calcium? I can't recommend it as a general 'women's health' measure especially if there's a question of nephrolithiasis.

Question 10

i have blood in my urine from kidney stones. i've been bleeding almost every other day for the past 9 days with little to no pain. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Blood urine stones?: 42 M: I have blood in my urine from kidney stones. I've been bleeding almost every other day for the past 9 days with little to no pain. Is this normal? ANS: it is never normal to have blood in your urine. How do you know it is from the stones? Make a note of the bleeding in the urine. Is it at the start of peeing only, throughout peeing. Clots in urine? Pain? Please let your Dr. know.
