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

No: It is never normal to have trace of blood in the urine.  You may have blood in the urine but not see it, but if blood is visible, it is definitely not normal.  See a doctor.

Question 6

got trace of blood in urine dip stick doctor said this can be normal?

Accepted Answer

Tr of blood in pee: Your doctor is right in suggesting that sometimes traces of blood in urine is common in healthy people. However it should be followed up with repeat testing to make sure it disappears after well hydration to exclude more serious causes of blood in urine.

Question 7

my creatine is 70 and egfr is 79 is this low i am 46 female have trace of blood in urine but has come back normal should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Inconsistent data: An egfr of 79 is lower than desirable but not too bad. You have not provided the units of cratinine as a value of 70 is not tenable. Blood in urine does need to be investigated, even if it happened only once as some lesions bleed erratically. It would be prudent to consult this site for info and discuss the matter with your doctor.

Question 8

pediatrican says trace blood in urine is normal?

Accepted Answer

Trace blood in urine: Trace blood in urine can be normal. However, it warrants repeat testing. Specifically, the test should be repeated with a sample of the first urine in the morning. A negative test would eliminate any concern. Positive test could still be normal, but a thorough history and family history should be taken.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Blood in urine: If there are no rbc's in your urinalysis it is probably of no significance.

Question 10

if renal ultrasound and cystoscopy are normal, what are other causes of trace microscopic blood in urine to be looked into?

Accepted Answer

Microhematuria : Small amounts of blood in the urine can be from problems with the kidney (not seen on ultrasound), the tubing from the kidney to the bladder, the bladder, fever or excessive exercise.  Sometimes the menstrual flow gets into urine. A normal cystoscopy helps rule out bladder diseases. There are several layers of further testing that can be possible, but to answer your concern more details are needed
