UTI Symptoms, Blood In Urine, Pain On Urinating, Brown Mucus Discharge. Ultrasound Normal. Kidney Condition?
My 9 year old son has had UTI symptoms, and it was determined that he did not have WBC in his urine but did have blood, which after a painful hour or two he had a clean urine sample. They assumed kidney stones . The ultrasound found nothing. Today he had some pain on urination, and a small brown mucus clot came out. I retrieved it and will take it to the pediatrician today. He is not circumcised. Thoughts?

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
It is most probably UTI. Stones may also be the cause as ultrasound does not detect all the stones.
Let the child specialist see with a open mind.
Urine culture is a must. Other tests need to be done based on the clinical findings and the results of the tests.
Wishing him good health
Best regards
