@v14, you're right. It is normal to have blood in your urine (red or blood-tinged urine) for a few days after Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) treatment. But how much is too much? Only your doctor can answer that. Do you have a number at the hospital that you can call to describe the amount of blood you see?

Have you been drinking enough water and fluids?

Hi Colleen.

Yes on all counts including photos. Had some labs done yesterday and tomorrow its ultrasound, bladder scan and a consult. I also still have soreness in the kidney area. No other symptoms however. I am on Eliquis. I stopped taking it 3 days prior to the procedure and didn't start it again till 4 days after the procedure. I stopped taking it again 1 day ago. Will hold until I consult with urology tomorrow. Maybe that will help.
