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

urine dips always show 1+ or moderate blood in urine, but usually no rbc. what could be the cause? this is not during my menstrual cycle. thanks

Accepted Answer

Microhematuria: If you exercise heavily, you will secrete myoglobin in your urine and as a UA can not distinguish between hemoglobin (from blood) and myoglobin (from muscle), UA will be positive for blood but no RBC seen. If your UA however reveals both blood and RBC then you need to seek a urologist's care for further evaluation and workup.

Question 5

does your uterus shed blood cells before your menustral starts is that why i had small trace of blood in urine. no uti or anything else.

Accepted Answer

Urine test: If you test a urine specimen, it is very sensitive for any blood.  You could easily test positive due to menstruation before your period is apparent.

Question 6

what is the most accurate drug test? & how long do substances like pain killers & cocaine stay in the body with each different test (blood, urine, hair follicle etc.?

Accepted Answer

: Visit this site for information: https://americanaddictioncenters.org/how-long-drugs-system
There are many factors that affect the results, including, type of drug, obesity, chronicity of use, method used for the test, cut off level used for a positive result. It is not feasible to address it in detail in this forum.

Question 7

can drug posetive menstrual blood effect a clean urine drug test?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If there are drugs in the blood, they would probably also be found in the urine also, if the urine was tested.  If the blood contaminated the urine, the drugs may be there, but this may not be needed.

If the drugs are "protein-bound", they may only be found in the blood at times.

Some drugs are best tested for in the urine, some in the blood.

Question 8

will having menstrul blood in your urine sample alter results of a lab urine drug test?

Accepted Answer

No: Having blood in a urine sample will not affect the urine drug screen. It will show up as blood and or as red blood cells in the urine test.

Question 9

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 10

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.
