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.

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

Accepted Answer

Urine infection: I would say urine infection is most likely, but that us not the only thing that can cause what you are describing. See your doctor and get this checked out right away.

Question 7

whats the significance of trace blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Needs attention: It is not normal to have even a trace blood in the urine , it could simple infection, or early kidney damage, or early sign of  a tumor  need to see your physician to find the cause.

Question 8

whats nonhemrolized trace of blood in urine mean?

Accepted Answer

: It means a small amount of red blood cell detected by urine dipstick test.

Question 9

could traces of blood in urine be a side affect of simvastin ?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Blood in the urine is not a Simvastatin side effect. Blood in the urine should not be ignored, you should see your doctor asap.

Question 10

what does a trace of blood in urine mean?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: If you have hematuria (h), you need to find its cause. First have a urine culture to see if you have a uti. If not, see a urologist (u) for an evaluation of the h.  The u will order a renal ultrasound and an ivp to assess the state of your kidneys. If those tests are negative, a cystoscopy, to see the bladder wall, may be needed. If you don't have a uti, see a u to find the cause of it. Good luck.
