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 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.

2-3rbc, pos 2 blood in urine. frequent urination, difficulty start a urine, stop and go stream, burning in bladder area. no bacteria in ua, helpme pls?

Accepted Answer

Prostatitis: These symptoms you refer are concerning for prostatitis or cistitis. Sometimes there could be no bacteria in the urianalysis and still have an infectio. Yo should visit an urologist and get a urine culture. I hope this helps.

Question 8

blood in urine but no rbc. what is the problem then?

Accepted Answer

No problem: A positive result means simply a color change due to oxidation of a test-strip reagent and it does not confirm that blood cells are present. Ther are many Factors that can cause a false-positive result on a dipstick test including hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria, concentrated urine, menstrual blood in the urine sample, and rigorous exercise.

Question 9

can high inr cause blood in urine on its own or does it just highlight and underlying problem? i had inr of 5.6 and bloody urine. went to er/sent home

Accepted Answer

See below: An INR of 5.6 alone could cause blood in urine. The issue may need to be reexamined once you have your INR in the therapeutic range. Please discuss it with the doctor prescribing the anti-coagulant.
Wish you good health.

Question 10

UTI: Be rechecked. The antibiotic may not be effective or you may have a new problem. All the best.
