Urology Questions Kidney Stones

Do kidney stones cause blood in urine?

There's been blood in my urine for at least 3 days, and I'm experiencing a little abdominal pain as well. I'm not sure why this is happening. Do you think these are symptoms of kidney stones? What else could be causing abdominal pain and blood in urine?

Stones can cause visible blood in your urine, but usually this is microscopic.
There are many reasons for your pain and visible blood but I would highly recommend you see a urologist to have this checked. A CT scan would be the first step to help in your diagnosis.
This could be from a kidney stones, but likewise from other etiologies. The common denominator in such situations is the presence of a unique type of bacteria that produces the key ingredient that produces the stone. This is common in Urea -splitting producing bacteria such as "Proteus." The common stones produced can be extremely large stones and are refferred to as "Staghorn Calculus."
