Microhematuria: I think the urologist meant that the kidney may be leaking red blood cells. If microhematuria persists, for complete evaluation and peace of mind, I recommend an ultrasound of the kidneys to look for cysts or growths, urine culture(if not already done) and a cytology examination of the urine to look for malignant cells.
