Have back pain and blood in urine. Right kidney is enlarged. Advice?
Patient: I have been having some mild lower back pain and have blood in my urine. I had an ultrasound of my kidneys and the right kidney is enlarged. I m very concerned and would like to know what this could be. I have had some soreness to my right back for a few months but it wasn t all the time just if I pressed on it a certain way sometimes it would feel sore in that area. I don t have an infection from my urine culture done. Doctor: Hi friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic  Stone causing obstruction is to be considered. CT scan may be needed for further evaluation.  Acute Nephritis is another / Renal function is normal? / What are the casts? Proteinuria? You should see a nephrologist.  Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
