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.

Question 4

can a herniated disc or back sprain cause moderate blood in the urine?

Accepted Answer

No: Spine or muscle strain won't, but a kidney infection can.   See your primary care physician.

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

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 8

whats blood in urine and no pain?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria.: Blood in the urine, or hematuria, in the absence of infection, is abnormal and should be worked up. First, a urinary infection must be ruled out. Red cells are common in this setting. If there is no infection, further evaluation is needed to find the source. Work with your doctor to make sure you find a cause, or rule out the more worrisome ones.

Question 9

what might be some causes of blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Many: Infections, kidney stone, cancer, and a lot of things.

Question 10

what are the possible reasons for blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Blood in the urine (hematuria) has several common causes.  The main reason for concern is that this is how bladder cancer is usually found.  But more common causes include bladder infections, kidney stones, and prostate problems in men.  Visible blood in the urine, particularly if not associated with pain or burning with urination needs to be evaluated with kidney imaging and cystoscopy (scope).
