Does Pyelonephritis Lead To Liquid Dark Stool And Abdominal Pain?

Hi I m a 20 year old female who just got out of the hospital for polynephritis, since being discharged I ve had 4 consecutive days of black thick liquidy stool. My abdomen constantly hurts and feels like a lot of pressure. I can also be extremely hungry but after only taking 2-4 bites of food I feel as if I could explode with how full I am. I had low potassium while In the hospital so I m not sure if that would have anything to do with it?

Hi,

Pyelonephritis or kidney infection is one kind of urinary tract infection or UTI where one or two kidneys become infected by bacteria. Kidney problems like pyelonephritis may cause watery dark stool or black tarry stools. Common symptoms of pyelonephritis are fever, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, burning sensation during micturition, increased frequency and urgency, loss of appetite etc. Again, medications that were used in hospital, may cause liquid dark stool. If passing of watery dark stool persists for long or bother you then you should consult your doctor immediately for medical help.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
