Suggest remedy for kidney pain and unsteady stream while urinating
Patient: My daughter was taken to ER with severe pain in the kidney area. While there she was told no stones and no infection. However, the UA RBC test shows 20-30 A. The ultra sound and CAT scan showed moderate right hydronephrosis and visualized proximal ureter is dilated. She also shows multiple phleboliths. They gave her some vicodin and an antibiotic and sent her home. That was last Thursday. She is still in severe pain and when she urinates it is not a steady stream......can you advise? Doctor: HelloThanks for query.Your daughter has severe pain in kidney area and ultrasound scanning and CT revealed hydronephrosis and  dilatation of upper ureter .This is suggestive of presence of obstruction of the ureter in middle portion of ureter.In majority of cases it is due to the impacted stone in the ureter .This can be confirmed by doing radiological tests called Intra Venous Pyelography.(IVP).Consult Urologist for evaluation and get the I.V.P done under his supervision .You need to confirm that her creatinine levels are normal before going for I.V.P.Further treatment will be decide by him and will depend upon the results of test ,position of stone and degree of obstruction .Dr.Patil.
