Why Experiencing Abdominal Pain Around Naval Area With Grainy Substance In Urine Sample?

Daughter has been experiencing abdominal pain right around her naval area for a little over a week and a half. They are currently running blood lab work but I just collected her urine sample and it was a very dark yellow color but left what appeared to be a grainy substance behind. Example if you mixed sugar in water and it didn t dissolve completely, you pour the water but still left with non dissolved sugar. What could the grainy substance be from?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The grainy substance indicates urinary tract infection most likely. Especially if she has also frequent urinating, burning while urinating, lower abdominal pain, back pain. Pain in naval area and urinary tract infection can indicate persistent urachus - a connection between the umbilicus and urinary bladder. It should be visible as a string in abdominal ultrasound.
She should have abdominal ultrasound and urine analysis done to diagnose or rule it out.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
