I am 22 years old recently I have been having frequent urination and urgency especially right after drinking fluids, my urine is really pale yellow all the time now even when I don't drink that much water & also lower back has been having a dull achy pain , I have never had problems with urination in the past but I had protein in my pee in the past when I was 13 years old and again when I was 20 doctors where never really concerned thoo , recently went to we and did ultrasound and some blood work but doctors said everything is normal... what else test could I ask for ?

    Robert, I assume a urine specimen has been collected from you and sent off for culture?  If not, then do request one - it could just be a urine infection.

      , doctors keep telling I'm too young for anything serious but can I demand a kidney screening do u think my symptoms are necessary? Symptoms are only really bad when drinking any fluid especially water

      Robert, have they also asked you to do a 24-hour urine collection? 

      When you say "Symptoms are only really bad when drinking any fluid...", what "symptoms" are you actually experiencing?

      My blood pressure has been normal and 3 recent uyralyisis have shown no protein in urine , blood work in ER was normal and so was ultra sound, could the frequent pee after I drink water sign of kidney failure or disease what other test could I do I'm really been freaking out all month wondering what this could be doctors keep telling me my bladder is just sensitive never had problems before thoo

      Robert, the colour sounds like a straw colour, which is fine.  It sounds as though you have been well investigated.  Could you perhaps just need some bladder re-training - some pelvic floor exercises for a start.  Speak to your doctor about it.

      Robert, I thought you said in your initial post that blood work had been carried out.  In that case, with the problems you presented with, I feel sure they would have done an eGFR test.  Do make enquiries.
