Would A Cyst On The Kidney Cause Blood In Urine?

My father has been peeing blood for months. He has had several tests no infection or bacteria. He is peeing every 15 min. He has a cyst on one kidney. Also he feels like he is going to pass out. He does not sleep doses off here and there. He is 68 and has a compressed spine.

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

No, the renal cyst will not cause bleeding and will not cause his urinary frequency. Since he is 68 y/o I would urge you to have his prostate checked for enlargement and maybe screen for prostate cancer. Blood in the urine is always a red flag and the etiology should always be investigated to rule out dreaded diseases (cancer etc.) A KUB,prostate Ultrasound and a urinalysis is the first step in the investigation.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
