I just discovered your group. I have been treating for kidney stones for
one year. I have had three episodes of profuse bleeding (from the
kidneys???) - this last one is still ongoing and has lasted 3-1/2 days.
Feeling quite weak right about now. Had a CT scan Wed. and shows no
movement of the latest stones - however still profuse bleeding. Was told
this a.m. to start taking Cipro in case of infection and to see dr. NEXT
Thurs. I have been trying to find out cause of kidney bleeding and
haven't been able to locate answers - which dr. SHOULD be providing but
is not. I know I need a new dr. but in meantime do you have any
experience in this problem????? Or know of a site I can tap into?
Thanks.

Gross hematuria can be caused by a number of different things and should
be evaluated by a physician.

As a kidney stone passes, it can cause tears in the kidney itself,
ureter, bladder and/or urethra. Gross hematuria is common with the
passage of kidney stones.

I had major bleeding when a 5mm stone decided to start moving down the
ureter. ...My Dr. didn't seem overly concerned. ...He said check back
with him if the bleeding lasts more than 3 days. The thing is, it
doesn't take very much blood in the urine to give one the impression
(during urination) that the stone has opened up a direct link to the
aorta. ...Perhaps your weak feeling is psychologically based. ...Jon
