Microscopic hematuria after kidney stone

I am a 52 year old male.  A week ago I was diagnosed with multiple small kidney stones in both kidneys by CT scan after seeing blood in my urine.  There were no stones in the ureter or bladder.  The urine now looks clear to my eye but my dip stick urine still shows a lot of microscopic blood.  Will that blood ever completely disappear?  And if so, how long will it take?  Thank you.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Microscopic hematuria will persist as long as there are stones in the urinary system. Please go through this link for some valuable information on kidney stones: http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/Kudiseases/pubs/stones_ez/
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
