I was 16 and just finished wrestling practice. I went to go pee, and nothing but dark red blood came out. This wasn't "coke colored urine", it was straight blood with what looked like no urine. I went to the hospital and found out I have polycystic kidney disease. It is a very common disease, and it usually ends up with kidney failure in the age of 50-60. I'm 35 and have 90% kidney function, so not doing too bad overall. It is what will eventually kill me though, I have no illusions of having a long life.
The thing is, it never hurt. I didn't notice it was blood till I looked down. My kidneys are bigger than normal and press into my rib cage sometimes, and that hurts, but overall it doesn't cause pain. It will when my kidneys fail, but not now. It is such a sneaky disease because it won't cause kidney failure till after people have kids, so it is difficult to weed it out of the gene pool.
