Is Presence Of RBCs In Urine Normal After Ureteral Stenting?

I was in the ER over the weekend with a kidney infection. I had a follow up appointment this afternoon and was told I had 10-12 WBC and lots of RBC in my Urine. I had a ureteral stent placed 2 weeks ago is this normal? I ran a fever of between 100-103 all weekend

Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted I think you have pyonephrosis and D.J stent has been placed in your renal unit to drain out the kidney and to clear the infection .

The RBC and 10-12 WBC revealed in routine urine analysis is common due to inflammation of ureter (Ureteritis) due to foreign body reaction to stent .

Take appropriate antibiotics as per culture report .

Ensure to drink more water .

It should get resolved by the time kidney infection gets cleared off which normally takes 3 weeks .
