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

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 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.

Question 6

microscopic blood in urine and pain, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Blood in urine: If the pain is in your genita/uretheral region or while peeing, it may denote some inflammation/injury to local area to cause blood in urine. Make sure proper culture (not all cultures are properly done) is done on your urine to rule out infection, repeat urine analysis after hydrating yourself well.

Question 7

what can microscopic blood in urine mean?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Red cells in the urine can mean kidney or bladder stones glomerulonephritis cancer of the kidney or urinary tract. They can be benign. Persistent microscopic hematuria needs urology and nephrology review.

Question 8

what can be the cause of microscopic blood in urine sample?

Accepted Answer

: There are many different causes, from common benign causes such as contamination (ie mense blood mixed with urine), strenuous exercise prior to urine collection, to more serious causes such as an infection, kidney stone, or even bladder cancer (more common in older people and people who smokes).
We typically will repeat a urine sample again to confirm the result first.

Question 9

would there be any connection between hpv without obvious symptoms and microscopic blood in urine without infection?

Accepted Answer

HPV and UTIs: Blood in the urine is most likely to be from an infection or inflammation.  On very rare occasions blood in the urine can also represent renal cell cancer. 

Hpv, the virus that causes warts, cervical and rectal and throat cancer, is most likely not the cause of blood in a urine sample.

Most strains of hpv do not cause cancer so i would advise you not to worry much about this.

Question 10

what are reasons for microscopic blood in urine? no doctor will take me seriously, because according to them i am "too" young. the first mention of blood in my urine was in 2019?

Accepted Answer

: There are several potential causes and it isn't possible to even guess without more information. Ask your doctor about referral to an internist, nephrologist (kidney disease specialist), or urologist. It should be pretty easy to figure this out, and you definitely should do so. Good luck.
