Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My father is diabetic. He has kidney stones. Recently, he saw some blood in his urine after walking. What is the reason behind it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Kidney stones can show different presentations. It can also cause blood in urine after doing exercise. Stones need proper evaluation and treatment. Your father is diabetic and he can have other medical issues. So proper evaluation has to be done before intervention is done. Have a follow-up with more details and do an ultrasound to know his kidney condition now.

The Probable causes

Your father is having hematuria due to stones.

Investigations to be done

Your father needs to do Fbc (full blood count), creatinine, urine analysis, urine culture, ultrasound, and KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder X-ray).

Differential diagnosis

Your father has renal stones or urothelial or kidney tumor.

Probable diagnosis

You can have urolithiasis.

Treatment plan

A proper decision can be taken after doing investigations.

Preventive measures

Proper hydration is required. If there is persistent hematuria, then admission and evaluation have to be done.

Regarding follow up

Have a follow-up after four days with your investigations.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
