Blood tests can detect if you have excess calcium or uric acid in blood. This is usually an indicator that one may have kidney stones.

Does using RO increase the chances of kidney stones?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a 6 mm kidney stone earlier and suffered severe pain with it. After drinking a lot of water, the stone passed into the urinary bladder and eventually the pain disappeared. Now after 6 months, I have dark colored urine and my report shows 15 to 20 red blood cells per high power field, but I have no pain and no fever. The urine culture report is negative. What might be the problem?
