Question 2

can 6mm size kidney stone pass through urine?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Kidney stones come in many sizes and shapes. 6 mm is not very large and should eventually pass. Straining urine with kitchen strainer every voiding should eventually catch the stone which likely will look like a blood clot. It can get hung up in the ureter causing significant pain. There are ways to get it out if trouble passing, see urologist for that.

Question 3

can you have a kidney stone with normal urine?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

what causes pain in the kidneys before passing urine?

Accepted Answer

Back pressure/reflux: Full distended bladder can be obstructive to passage of urine from the kidneys. Another explanation could be reflux of urine backwards from bladder to kidneys because of incompetent bladder valves. Suggest you consult your dr. Who might refer or order a renal & bladder ultrasound to include views with a full bladder followed by post-void views. This could give the answer.

Question 5

how many bubbles in urine is considered a kidney problem?

Accepted Answer

Just not a good way: to tell if there is kidney disease. There might be more bubbles if there is protein in the urine, but the quality of the water in the toilet, other chemicals in the urine, strength of the stream, etc. OTher than bloody, you need the urinalysis to tell if urine is abnormal.

Question 6

how is it that protein in the urine may be a sign of kidney damage?

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: To better answer your question, I have to know the amount of proteinuria (p). If it were discovered in a urine analysis by a dip stick, that does not quantify it. A 24 hour urine is done to see how much p you have in a day. If you have.

Question 7

can you get kidney disease from holding in your urine all the time?

Accepted Answer

Probably not…: …kidney disease but more frequent bladder infections: holding urine stretches bladder so it doesn't function well in emptying, often leaving urine behind, which then becomes a source for infection. Try to urinate soon after getting the urge. If urinating often, see doc to be checked for UTI or diabetes.

Question 8

is citra alka syrup good for kidney stone and for the flow of urine?

Accepted Answer

: This is a supplement I think.  There is no regulation of those who sell them.  They do not have to show the snake oil is safe or that it does what they say it does.  Ask you local Dr.

Question 9

how long does it take for a kidney stone to develop, can urine tell this?

Accepted Answer

STONE: Can be a hint but not confirm it. The type of stone is important to determine the time it takes along wth the urine concentration.

Question 10

in my urine test always have bloid, but my kidneys and bladder are normal?

Accepted Answer

1% of folks: One percent of humankind has a small amount of blood in the urine as a result of the glomerular basement membrane being thin in some places. If kidney function & imaging are good, stop working it up. Many such folks have slightly diminished hearing, especially when it's a gene at the alport locus, but it almost never causes real problems.
