What Causes Abdominal Pain, Blood In Urine And Dizzy Spells?

Hello. A close family member has recently been in hospital because of pain in her abdomen, blood in her urine and lightheaded/dizzy spells. She had a ct scan today because they suspected kidney stones. The results of the ct scan showed a shadow on her left kidney. She has got to go for an ultrasound tomorrow. What could this shadow be? They nurses were not very helpful as the hospital was extremely understaffed

Sorry to about your relative's condition.

Abdominal pain,blood in urine ,dizziness with XRAY showing shadow on kidney.
It may be due to renal stone/cyst on kidney/mass in kidney.
Next step of doing USG,urinanalysis,blood haemogram is required to know the details of above mentioned pathology.
Renal stone and cyst on kidney is easily manageable with oral antibiotics,conservative treatment and follow ups.
Mass in kidney will require further specific blood investigations.
You will need to visit urologist for further management of any of above pathology.

-Analgesics antispasmodics like acetaminophen dicyclomine will be required as and when needed for pain relief.
-Antibiotics if urinary tract infection detected through urinanalysis.
Oral cipro for 7-10 days may be given
