Question 1

26 f, microscopic hematuria detected inconsistently in urine tests. blood tests show kidney function is fine. should i be worried/see a urologist?

Accepted Answer

Need work up: Start with pmd obviously- who is going to take a careful exam and repeat the urine test. You will need to get an imaging study- like ct scan to rule out certain things- like stone, mass/growth etc.
Then depend on the result of the work-up- referral to urologist can be arranged by your primary doctor accordingly. Good luck.

Question 4

hi, i have light headed and tiredness and i sleep more than average 11-12 hours and i made blood, urine tests( how can show )
what is the problem

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity at tolerated.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

5yr girl with 7 past urine tests in row show trace blood in it, no u.t.i.! so checked serum creatinine an it's ok but cbc, iron on low side, .any clue?

Accepted Answer

? urine Ca/cr ratio: Sometimes this is a sampling issue, and a squat and pee sample is often a vaginal wash out with all sorts of things in it.If it is a good clean catch specimine i would wonder where the blood is coming from.Small amounts can accompany excess calcium loss through the kidney tubules.A spot check of the urine ca/cr can pick this up, usually some protein in the pee along with it.Talk with your doc.
