Im 4 days removed from Lithotripsy, is this too much blood to be peeing wt this point? Woke up throughout the night drenched in sweat and then woke up to a large amount of blood in my urine.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

@mykidneyssuck1988 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

I have attached a link that discusses lithotripsy for kidney stones, from the National Kidney Foundation https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/lithotripsy
As you will read, it is common to have some blood in your urine after the procedure and while the stone particles are passing through your system. And it is fairly common to have the discomfort. Hydration is critical to keep flushing your system and kidneys. You might want to try some Tylenol to alleviate the discomfort?

Did your medical team supply you with any instructions and general aftercare thoughts? Did they give you a contact number to reach them if you are having issues?
