A member asked:

Would i be able to not eat spicy food if i have a problem with my kidney? (microscopic hematuria)

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

You can eat spicy: Spicy food has nothing to do with hematuria but you should be checked to try to find the cause of the microhematuria.

Dr Fowler and 2 doctors agreed

Hematuria: Spicy food will not affect hematuria. Diet should be mostly fruit and vegetable. Avoid saturated fat. Minimize animal protein to 3 ounces per day. Make sure BP is less than 130/80.
