Constant Kidney Cramping And Pain, History Of Stones. Low RBC, G1,G3 Are Dysmorphic. Should Be Concerned ?
history of kidney stones since the age of 13, female now 29. constistantly on a 4-5 times per week basis over the past year getting kidney cramping and pain but never enough to warrant a doctors visit. low rbc (about 40) in msu but about 30% are g1 and g3 dysmorphic (i just checked myself as in micro lab). have had scans during this time (ultra sound and xray) and all show no stone. there is a about 6cm mass off the kidney at an old nephrostomy site that has always been said to be no worry. So question is... are the dRBCs of a concern?

The findings you have described need to be evaluated further.
Investgations like Urine-24 hrs protein,albumin quantification,KFT,Ca,P,uric acid etc need to be done,so that further work up can be planned
Dysmorphic RBCs are always significant.
I suggest get yourself thoroughly evaluated by a Nephrologist
