Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Cymbalta (duloxetine): If you have any kidney concerns with pain or a change in your urine this can only be tested by blood or a urine sample. I think you may be misunderstanding how urine is made and processed. And given your confusion this may be best addressed in person with your personal physician.
