Is it bad if your kidney bleeds everyday for over a year?
Question:
Answers:
yes, it is bad.
Drink more water and don't use artifical sweeteners, or MSG. the Artifical sweeteners can crystalize in your kidneys.
You gotta be kidding me! Go see a doctor and if he say's there's no treatment for you stone he's a quack. I'd change your primary and if you can call a urologist NOW. Uric acid is from the build of of urine, so you should also be drinking a copious amount of liquids, so you can pass the stone.
Urinary calculi are solid particles in the urinary system. They may cause pain, nausea, vomiting, hematuria (blood in the urine), and, possibly, chills and fever from secondary infection. Diagnosis is based on urinalysis and noncontrast spiral CT. Treatment is with analgesics, antibiotics for infection, and, sometimes, instrumentation, shock wave lithotripsy, or endoscopic surgery.
Complications:
* Recurrence of stones
* Urinary tract infection
* Obstruction of the ureter, acute unilateral obstructive uropathy
* Kidney damage, scarring
* Decrease or loss of function of the affected kidney
Consult a Nephrologist.

I am assuming you are under specialist care. If this is the case then cancer will already have been successfully excluded. You are probably passing small grains of sand on an ongoing basis, without having an actual stone. Though this can be very painful on occasion, renal colic is in the top 3 for most painful pains, provided your renal function remains normal, there should be few long term implications.
If it makes you feel any better, my hubby has had blood in his urine for more than 20 years!!
He had kidney disease, which has been treated by transplant and he is under specialist care and checked up regularly. The bleeding is from his damaged kidneys which still function albeit poorly.
In short, as long as you keep in touch with your GP and/or specialist then don't worry.
