What Causes Blood In Urine?
Question: I'm a XXXX last week had gross hematuria with 3 +++ leukocytes on dip strip. Started ABT 4 days ago still with microscopic 1+ micro hematuria and no leukocytes. Never any nitrites did develope Uti symptoms severe approx 2-3 days after initial red hematuria with clots. If this is an infection how long for micro hematuria to resolve. I am 65 y/o
Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Ultrasonography is also required
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So a fross hematuria, with clots seemsmore suspicious for tumor bleed or stones rather than infection.
An ultrasound is warranted and if it is negative, then mri or cystoscopy must be planned.
Tumors of kidney and bladder behave in such fashion.
If it is pure infection, it should resolve in another couple of days. Continue with antibiotics and plenty of fluids.
Please revert back with reports.
Thanks and regards
