What Causes Blood In Urine?
Question: I had an ultrasound on my left kidney yesterday because 1. there's blood in my urine and 2. I have a cyst on the kidney (opposite kidney had surgery for kidney cancer). This morning I woke up at 3:00 a.m. with intermittent sharp pains in the spot where she pressed the hardest with the ultrasound machine : my left kidney, left side of back under ribs. The pains were at varied intervals and not related to movement. They were so intense that I took a pain pill (Saturday and my doctor not in the office). Pain pill didn't stop pain but dulled it and I slept until 4:00 p.m. Woke without pain - but with moderate nausea. Now - mild nausea and no pain but I'm afraid it'll return.

Blood clots sometimes cause an acute renal colic attack when they form a sudden ureteral obstruction.Pain was relieved with the passage of clot.Take plenty of oral fluid at least 2 litres/day for 2 days.It will facilitate removal of any residual element.
