my daughter is 5 years old and has had a 101 to 104 fever for the past 4 days. she hasn t really eaten anything and has been vomiting. she complains of pain in her belly and is very listless. we did a urine test do to her urine being a brown color and it came back that there was a very high red blood count. my husnads father was diagnosed at 40 with type 2 diabetes but other than that it does not run in the family. she is at the lab now doing blood work and we have to take samples of her urine for the next 24 hours. she was recently on ceraphlix (sp?) for a maybe urinary tract infection but that has been ruled out and taken off the medicine. is there anything else that it could be and something more that i should be asking the doctor? thanks!
Hello, I just read your query. The symptoms you have mentioned here all can be due to acute nephritis. It is a condition where due to some infection, inflammation in kidneys occur, as a result blood stained urine and fever etc. symptoms may occur.* The other possibility for blood stained urine and fever etc. symptoms may be due to kidney stones. When kidney stones move into ureters they can cause this kind of symptom.* Ask your doctor for an ultrasound abdomen, so that if any of these possibility is there, it can be ruled out.* I hope my answer would be helpful for you. Thank you.
