Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
You have severe pain in left loin with blood in urine (Hematuria) .

Though C.T Scan has not revealed positive evidence of stone either in kidney or ureter the pain that you have with dilatation of pelvicalyceal system suggests obstruction to flow of urine from kidney in to bladder via ureter and needs to be investigated further .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Radiological test called Retrograde Pyelography .


Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
