Question 1

saw dr 5dy ago. + 4 infection n mico blood in urine.on med got better now bad again. took hm test show + 4 lleukocytes in urine with no nitrites?

Accepted Answer

Culture: Are you saying the urinalysis got better or symptoms better?No nitrites does not mean no infection.If you are having symptoms such as burning,frequency,urgency,a urine culture would be good idea.Talk to your doctor.

Question 2

what can cause gross hematuria (blood in urine)?

Accepted Answer

Infection,tumourSton: Can be due to following reasons
1 infections in bladder or kidneys
2 bladder or kidney stone
3tumours and cancer of bladder or kidneys
4benign prostatic hypertrophy and prostatitis
5kidney disease like glomerulonephritis
6 inherited alpert sybdrome and sickle cell disease
7meds like aspirin, anticoagulants, anti cancer drugs
8 some time strenuous exercise can too
blood can be visible or microscopic.

Question 3

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 4

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.

Question 5

gross hematuria with blood clots but only after sexual activity. urine clear when no sexual activity occurs. prostate? busted seminal vessel? ua was neg for protein blood etc. white count normal too. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

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 7

gross hematuria for 3 weeks intermittent pelvic pain abnormal wbcs, nitrite, protein found in urine but no growth urine culture ct scan w/ contrast and ultrasound were unremarkable why is cystoscopy now needed by urologist?

Accepted Answer

: It is absolutely indicated for ruling out bladder lesion(s) as the etiology of gross hematuria because of negative urine culture and unremarkable findings by imaging tests. I assume your kidney function remains stable but kidney biopsy may be necessary if cystoscopy does not reveal bladder lesion(s). Good luck.

Question 8

my urine dips always show 1+ or moderate blood in urine, but usually no rbc. what could be the cause of frequesnt blood in urine with no rbc?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Dipsticks are for screening only. Urine should be checked under a microscope. Dipsticks can be fooled by other chemicals in urine. Myoglobin from muscles for example.

 See your doctor for a diagnosis.

Question 9

blood in urine with back pain?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts: If back pain on one side or other, would suspect urinary tract infection focalizing in kidney, such as pyelonephritis, but intermittent intense pain might implicate kidney stone.  Other causes may be present, and this needs evaluation by your doctor soon.

Question 10

blood in urine with pain in side?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Causes could be anything from tumor to kidney stone to infection to benign cause and unrelated abdominal pain.  Need some lab testing and an exam to sort this out.
