A member asked:

My doctor called and told me i have blood and crystals in my urine what does this mean? is it serious i have had kidney stones in the past

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney stones: It may be the blood and crystals are from a recent episode of kidney stones. If there are crystals though and you've had kidney stone before, consider seeing your PCP or a kidney specialist to test if you are at risk for future episodes by checking for certain predisposing conditions.

I am 17 years old. I think I passed a kidney or bladder stone once in my urine (no pain). I have not noticed any other symptoms or pain and have had normal urine for 1-2 weeks. Would you still advise seeing a doctor? Is this typically serious?
