Have Kidney Stones, Painful, Dark Purple Bruises On Thighs. What Is Going On?
I am 25 years old. Last week I was hospitalized after being in severe pain and diagnosed with kidney stones . 5 of them. I have had kidney infections about every 2 months for years, always thinking it was because of drinking soda . After this episode I noticed very dark purple bruises on my thighs. Only on my legs no where else. I am realizing that I ve had these same bruises a lot. And usually around the time i am having kidney trouble. They go across my thigh and some are round. Very large, dark purple, but do not hurt. And opinions on what this could be caused by and what I should do? I have pictures if needed.
Hi, many thanks for the query! You need to do- USG KUB, X-ray KUB, CBC, RFT, Urine (Culture & Sensitivity). You haven't mentioned about size & location of the stones. Till then take antispasmodics, diuretics, pain killers, with your doctor's opinion. Take antibiotics as per the report of Culture & Sensitivity. Drink plenty of water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs. See your Dermatologist for dark purple bruises on your thighs as these doesn't seem to be related to kidney stones/infection. Wish you a good health. Take care. Regards.
welcome to the forum. A consultation with a urologist will help plan the line of treatment for the stones depending on the site and the size. You seem to have signs of easy bruisability. You may be having problem with bleeding/clotting and hence a blood test called coagulation profile is needed. Please contact your doctor get the tests done and decide the line of treatment. Best regards
