Question 1

what could cause recurrent flank pain if ct scan is negative for stones and urine test is negative for infection. dip was positive for blood?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Recurrent flank pain especially with blood in the urine is definitely cause for concern.  You should see your doctor, and perhaps ask for referral to a urologist.  It is reasonable to seek further testing to rule out unusual but potentially serious causes such as kidney cancer.  If the flow of urine is obstructed for any reason, it can cause urine to back up into the kidney and produce flank pain.

Question 2

my wife is 51 and very healthy non smoker . she has had extreme fatigue , blood in urine, localized left flank pain. ct scan was neg for kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Infection or tumor: The most likely reason is infection of the kidney...Your doctor will check the urine and prescribe antibiotics.  A less likely reason is a tumor in the kidney or nearby.  This may  need a urologists help.  It could still be a kidney stone that was not seen on the ct, which also needs a urologists help.

Question 3

significant left flank pain for 8 days, trace blood in urine, ct scan neg for calculi, pos for diverticulosis. otherwise asymptomatic. please advise.

Accepted Answer

Diverticulosis: Diverticulosis can cause pain in left lower quadrant. Treat constipation, report immediately if fever, urinary symptoms , nausea vomiting to a dr.

Question 4

have pain every time i urinate, test negative for infections. i have uti symptoms, flank pain, history of kidney stones but no blood in urine, help?!

Accepted Answer

May still be a UTI: Usually, pain on urination (dysuria) is a symptom of a UTI from which the offending bacteria can be grown from the  urine. Less commonly dysuria can occur from the irritation of passing a kidney stone alone (i.e. Not a uti). In other situations, the laboratory can't isolate the microbe because it's too difficult to grow in culture (e.g. Chlamydia)- in that case, you may still actually have a uti.

Question 5

dr. found white blood cells in urine under microscope. dip and culture tests normal. neg for infection or bac.
ct scan was normal. no stones. ?

Accepted Answer

Several causes: Ok..White cells in your urine indicates your kidneys/ureters or bladder is inflamed.  All inflammation does not necessarily mean bacterial infection.  Viruses can cause this too.  Now..A ct scan.  A ct scan will only show "stones" if they are calcium or mineral based.  Cholesterol stones will not show up like this.  Interstitial cystitis can also be present exactly as you've described.

Question 6

right flank pain  blood in urine negative results in cat scan?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Persistant blood in the urine requires further evaluation.   You should see a urologist.

Question 7

i have severe rt side flank pain with blood n my urine. doc found a stone in the rt kidney did ct. doc says it cant cause pain in kidney. why?

Accepted Answer

Rec 2nd opinion: Renal stones are a very common cause of flank pain.  I'd recommend you get a second opinion to review your symptoms and imaging findings.

Question 8

having low back pain on one side, went to dr, urine test + for blood & high protein levels, ct scan for stones neg. father died at 46 of renal ca.

Accepted Answer

See details.: The ct scan would have shown evidence of a renal cell carcinoma so that is ruled out. The high protein is indicative of significant kidney inflammation. I would suggest seeing a nephrologist (kidney specialist) for an opinion.

Question 9

left flank pain after bending over i went to the er before and got morphine because it was so bad, they found nothing after urine, blood and cat scan?

Accepted Answer

See below: Since the act of bending over provoked the pain this may musculoskeletal in nature. Bending over can put pressure on spine causing a strained muscle or even a herniated disc.  Pain in the left flank would suggest injury to a thoracic or upper lumbar vertebrae.  If all your other labs check out ok consider seeing a physiatrist or orthopedist for further evaluation.

Question 10

right flank pain with blood in urine  cat  scan?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you have right flank pain and you have blood in the urine- you should have some evaluation done. In addition to the urine and blood test, a ct scan of the pelvic is one of the tests that you should have- to find out the explanation of your symptoms. There are different things that can give you symptoms like that including infection, kidney stones, mass etc.
