I've had right kidney flank pain for a few months now. I've had blood tests which say kidney function is fine, but I do have microscopic blood in the urine. My doctor referred me for a CT scan, suggesting it was most likely kidney stones but the results were "clear". I'm hoping to see another doctor soon, but has anyone experienced anything similar?

Hi. I had this problem 5 year's ago. kidney function fine but losing protein, creatinine. after scans, x rays, constant blood tests. I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. I was in and out of hospital for 6 months. Eventually told pain was muscular. I got worse, blood pressure spiked and I had a TIA and then a major stoke. I was in hospital for nearly a year. I'm not saying this to scare you but please do not be robbed off. make sure they do every test possible and keep an eye on blood pressure. I wish you well.

Hi, thanks for the reply. From the 2 blood tests I've had so far, they said creatinine levels were fine and there was no protein in the urine, so could this be slightly different from my symptoms?

Hi
Maybe you had a small stone and it passed!
Good luck x
