Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Though you have provided some information but I would like to have the detailed urine routine examination report and the complete ultrasound report giving the details of the renal size for me to give guidance. Blood in urine can be due to either a severe infection or an obstruction like stone or growth. The obstruction is probably causing the pelvicalyceal fullness of the kidneys in which case the obstruction is either in both the ureters of the urinary bladder obstructing both the ureteric openings. After reviewing the urine and ultrasound reports the doctor will suggest further investigations.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son an early recovery.

Regards,
