Patient journey

I went to the ER in August 2025 for kidney stones—that's when I was first diagnosed.

But a few tests have shown that I still have blood in my urine months later.

The next time I had kidney stone pain was in December 2025, and I saw blood in my urine then too.

What you're showing now isn't hugely concerning. Who ordered it? The sensible, simple next step would be to send the sample off for a proper urinalysis instead of just a basic urine dip.

It still shows blood in the urine though.

No need to panic. I had a similar experience, and they eventually found an 8mm stone in my ureter. That's what was causing the hematuria. I had quite a bit of blood in my urine, and it showed up on lab results until I finally passed it.
