How severe is his cerebral palsy? Is he ambulatory? Is he bed bound? in children with significant skeletal deformities or minimal ambulation, kidney stones are very common. These can cause blood in the urine and the urinary incontinence that you are describing. You need to go see a pediatric urologist for evaluation. First step should be checking for a urine infection, but after that imaging with an ultrasound or CT scan is likely the next step.Moderate spastic cp, wheelchair yes, but can walk with a walker short distances. He did have kidney and bladder ultrasound that was unremarkable. He also had a urine culture that was clear of bacteria. Thank you for your repl
Total loss of bladder controlWhat would cause a complete loss of bladder control in 17 year old with cerebral palsy. Yes he has cp and thats what his primary wants to relate it to, but hes been in control since age 8 and now suddenly, theres about a 2 second warning before he goes. Sometime he doesnt even know he went. Cp is non progressive. Last 2 months there has been 5 separate episodes of blood (not from urine) in his brief in the morning. After standing for sometime and then sits, he feels a slight pain in the groin area. Urine was cultured, no bacteria was found, only microscopic blood. Referred to nephrology and his kidneys are good but his compliment levels were low. Doc thinks from having COVID in November. Testing again in 2 months. Next step is urology. Thanks in advance for any insight....Edit: he is now being followed for increased hemoglobin and hematocrit in RBC
