Suggest Remedy For Red Blood Cells In Urine

Hello, my husband was told yesterday that they found red blood cells in his urine. He went to the doctor because he goes to the bathroom often. He drinks coffee all the time. He is on the road as a car part salesman and is in the car a lot so the coffee helps keep him awake. What should we do now?

Hello,

Hemoglobin in urine is present due to rupture of red blood cells and passage of hemoglobin in urine.

Presence of red blood cells in urine suggests bleeding in the urinary tract.

Stones are the most common cause of bleeding in the urinary tract. A complete assessment of the urinary tract and kidney is required to know the cause of bleeding I the urinary tract.

Appropriate management can be done after assessing the kidney and the urinary tract.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
