Hello! I want to know could tumors be mistaken for kidney stones. I am asking you this because I have some kidney problems. I have terrible pains and my urine has strange color (I would say that it is bloody). I have done some blood and urine tests. I went to CT scanner, too. On this scanner kidney stones are not seen and my doctor told me that the next step is kidney biopsy. Advise me, please...

Hello! I think that you should not be worried because you have very good doctor. I can tell you that it is very strange because kidney stones are not seen on CT scanner. I mean, it just cannot be seen small kidney stones and they does not cause terrible pain. I think that your doctor is right about kidney biopsy.
