Could Hematuria And Lower To Mid Back Pain Be Related To Kidney Infection?
Post menopausal with blood in urine and lower to mid left back pain.feel swollen all over. Hx of kidney infections as a child and 2 episodes of really bad kidney infection, one 30 years ago and another about 15 years ago. I am 64 and in good health except for this. Is this another kidney infection? No problems with burning urination or pain in that area.
Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Blood from any orifice is abnormal.This could very well be an UTI.(infection). You'll need to get examined by an Urologist and do the basic tests like : 1. urine routine and culture. 2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,and platelets. 3. Ultrasound -KUB,with residual urine. 4. A cystoscopy with/without a CT-IVU,may be done,after seeing reports. If you've any doubts,send a direct question in my name,with all the reports. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
