Severe Pain In The Left Side. Chances Of Stones In Spleen?

Hello DR,
I have a long going problem with excruciating left side pain and for the last three years I have had many exams to look for non existant or not detectable kidney stone(s). My question is :
Can stones in the spleen change aspect of urine as in blood, protien, calcium AND sodium crystals.
Thanks in advance

hi there, left sided pain ,one of the cause could be a kidney stone.As you have already investigatied for the same and not found any,either they a re very tiny and pass out in urine so are not found on ultrasound or x-ray or the cause is something else and you might need a more thorough investigation for the same.Stone in the spleen is not heard of and no even if that was a possiblity it would not cause an alteratrion in your urine report. But if the stone was in the kidney then it may definitely show in urine with probably blood or protein or sodium crystals as you have suggested. Take care.
