Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Upper GI endoscopy for biopsy in Barret's esophagus is not likely to cause blood in the urine.
Microscopic blood in urine is suggestive of pus cells and protein in the urine.
If it is actually a urinary tract infection, then you need antibiotics to treat your problem.
For symptomatic relief, you need to have plenty of fluids and do take plenty of fresh cranberry juice.
In the urine test you have done, I presume no pus cells were seen.
Another possible cause can be a renal or a urinary tract calculus which is lodged in the tract somewhere and due to the mucosal injury it is causing, slight bleeding is there.
All the calculi are not necessarily detected on ultrasound specially the ones lodged in the ureter. X-ray of KUB region is sometimes more suggestive in ureteric calculi.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
