Question 1

My urinalysis results came back normal except:
wbc esterase 2+ 
wbc 11-30
crystals: amorphous sediment
i also have mild flank pain.  kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

You may have renal stones as this entity cannot be excluded, however, your findings may be due to crystals in urine. Try drinking enough water everyday so that your urine is colorless and repeat the test in 3-4 months.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 2

Can a urinalysis detect kidney stones ?

Accepted Answer

A dipstick ua by itself cannot detect kidney stones; when positive, it serves as an important piece of the puzzle. A microscopic ua may provide more information and cue us in as to what kind of stone may be present. The best way to detect a stone is to catch the stone. Diagnostic imaging is often needed since its a hard fish to catch.

Question 3

I had urinalysis done tonight because of a kidney stone my one question i have is squamous epi cell normal in the urine i see the normal range is 0-3 and mine was 5-10 what could that mean?

Accepted Answer

I would set nothing by this. It's hard to give a midstream clean-catch urine every time.

Question 4

If i had a kidney stone, would a urinalysis show something?

Accepted Answer

There may be microscopic hematuria, small amount of blood in urine, and depending on the type of stone, crystals may be present in the urine. However, imaging studies are the test of choice for diagnosing kidney stones.

Question 5

Went to gp with left side abdo pain, roughly level with navel. intermittentl. she palpated and suggested kidney stones... waiting for urinalysis. help?

Accepted Answer

Sorry - not sure how we can help. The urinalysis is important for this diagnosis. Do you have a specific question?

Question 6

I have chronic kidney stones for the past 11 years all my tests are negative, urinalysis positive for hematuria. i'm always in pain and passing stones?

Accepted Answer

This may be what you have. An old fashioned test called an I.V.P. Or I.V.U. Used to show it well. It is a variant where the tubes are larger and chrystal form more easily. A voiding diary with ins and outs measured until 2.5 l out per day is achieved can make your stones much smaller or passing  as small crystals.

Question 7

This morning, i was peeing clear liquid every 10 minutes. i got a urinalysis done after and it didn't show anything except dilution. i didn't drink water yesterday. i also have a hx of a kidney stone. what could cause my clear urine then?

Accepted Answer

DO you urinate a lot each 10 minutes, every hour, for the whole day? For instance 2 conditions that can cause frequent urination are diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Diabetes mellitus from insulin deficiency  from pancreas  and diabetes insipidus from deficiency of antidiuretic hormone from pituitary gland. You need to see your PCP for more testing -urine and blood to r/o these conditions

Question 8

Yesterday pain in my right groin, and persistent urge to urinate. after several hours instant relief from both. (no blood) have had kidney stones in the past. urinalysis showed: large (non hemolyzed, intact, about 250 rbc/ul) need i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No.    You might have passed a small stone or 'gravel' Drink plenty of water and if you have not seen a Urologist in a while pl do so to get checked for any other stones.

Question 9

No doc. not kidney stones. plse help urinalysis. color-amber..blood-mod.*protein100*..rbc/hpf10-25*bac occasional=2= epithelial cells pres. mucous pre?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a doc, how did you get the urinalysis? And how do you know this is not due to kidney stones? It's also not a "clean catch" sample, as evidenced by the epithelial cells. The differential is wide, and include kidney stones, urinary tract infection, and any number if intrinsic kidney diseases. Need context and info, please discuss with the doc who did the urinalysis with you.

Question 10

If a urinalysis shows no blood in urine  a week after a single gross hematuria event, does that mean the issue has resolved? (i.e. possible kidney stone passed, etc). i am on eliquis and had left flank plain 4 days before gross hematuria occurrence?

Accepted Answer

Above scenario appears consistent with a passed stone, however you are left with the 2 conditions that contributed, taking a blood thinner and the propensity of forming stones and the risk for another such episode in the future remains high. Make sure all your treating docs are aware of recent events.
