Hematuria, or blood in the urine, is another common sign of kidney stones. The presence of blood in the urine can range from visible red or brown discoloration to microscopic amounts detectable only through lab tests. Blood in the urine is a result of the stone causing irritation or injury to the lining of the urinary tract as it passes through.
Visible blood in the urine can be alarming, but it’s essential to remain calm and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. Even if the blood is not visible to the naked eye, it’s crucial to report any changes in urine color or consistency to your doctor, as this could indicate the presence of a kidney stone or another underlying issue.(3)
