Brief Answer:
not cancer

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have had blood in your urine for 1 year. You have also had CT scans of your kidneys which was reported as normal. With this report you should have no concerns about kidney cancer. The likelihood is very remote. The amount of blood in your urine is microscopic and not something we worry about since you had scans already reported as normal. The mucous in your urine is normal also so no need to worry there as to where that maybe coming from. Overall this all looks normal and nothing you should be alarmed about..

I can reassure you that you are healthy and there is no sign of cancer

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
