Urinalysis Showed Bilirubin In Urine. History Of Passing Kidney Stones. What Could Be Wrong?
I passed kidney stones 3weeks ago. My urinalysis showed bilirubin in my urine. I have no fever yellowing of skin or weight loss (actually I ve gained weight). Not sure why I have this. I couldn t get an appt with the urologist until 1/30/14 since I m a new pt. Should I try another urologist or do something about this sooner? What else could be wrong?

Hi
Thanks for your query.
There is no correlation between a kidney stone and the presence of bilirubin in the urine.
I would recommend that you drink plenty of fluids to prevent recurrence of stones.
For the presence of bilirubin in the urine, I suggest that you repeat the urinalysis. If its still positive, please do an Ultrasound of the abdomen and liver function tests.
Hope this helps
Good luck
