Question 2

if a urinalysis shows no blood in urine  a week after a single gross hematuria event, does that mean the issue has resolved? (i.e. possible kidney stone passed, etc). i am on eliquis and had left flank plain 4 days before gross hematuria occurrence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, possible: Above scenario appears consistent with a passed stone, however you are left with the 2 conditions that contributed, taking a blood thinner and the propensity of forming stones and the risk for another such episode in the future remains high. Make sure all your treating docs are aware of recent events.

Question 3

45 yo fem-recent blood/urine tests identified high neutrophils (80%), low lymphocytes [14.8% and 0.94x10(3) mcl], ketones in urine (2+), blood in urine (1+), elevated urobilinogen (2.0 mg/dl), blood gluc./a1c (prediab), and low blood sod. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

: Probably you have a urinary tract infection. Follow-up with your doctor for conclusive advice and treatment.

Accepted Answer

: Bladder cancer would be my first concern. Someone needs to look in ur bladder.

Question 5

gross hematuria, end of urination. blood samples, urine samples done. no infection. "tense" bladder, lower back pain, occasional scrotum/testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Hmm...: I bet you've got a little vascular malformation that's grown in your prostatic urethra. Time to get with a urologist. You're a young man, probably in the peak of good health, and pain around there is surely a nuisance. We can figure it out and fix it, I'll bet. Best wishes.

Question 6

if you have gallstones would you be able to find out by blood tests or urine test what's wrong or could it still be gallstones.

Accepted Answer

NO: Some of the complications result of gall stones could be , like bilirubin , alkaline phosphate  .They are also elevated in other diseases , simple sonogram will show gall stones.

Question 7

would a ct scan show gallstones because my ct scan came back clear. also, would a ct scan combined with urine tests and blood tests detect gallstones?

Accepted Answer

It may miss it: The best test for gallstones is an ultrasound.

Question 8

will a ct scan show gallstones/ other gall bladder problems as well as stomach ulcers? what about a urine and blood test?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Ct is fairly good at evaluating the gallbladder for stones or infection/inflammation. It is poor at evaluating the stomach for ulcers. This typically requires an upper endoscopy.

Question 9

visible blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Check it out.: Many causes. Could be a simple infection of the bladder, a kidney stone, polyps in the bladder, bleeding from the urethra or vaginal entrance. If it is red then likely to be from a source close to the urethra. Have it checked out.

Question 10

what causes blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Blood in urine can be from minor to major causes.  Tumors, infections, inflammation , medications, ruptured vesses in the urinary system all can cause blood in the urine.  A single drop of blood in a cup of urine can turn the urine red.  If you suspect blood in your urine, get seen by your pcp or urologist and find the cause.  Don't delay.  It is not worth it to wait.
