Blood in the urine


Blood in the urine often causes patients to a medical examination. Patients is usually associated with tumor processes, which fortunately does not have to be the case. In assessing the risk of bleeding is very important to identify the accompanying symptoms. Sudden appearance of blood in the urine accompanied by burning and frequent urination, occurs in strong inflammation of the bladder and prostate cancer in men. Following the implementation of targeted antibiotic therapy problems, and thus stop the bleeding and further tests are usually not necessary. Sometimes the patient can find bladder stones, which then requires removal. 

Blood stream at the beginning indicates a pathological process in the urethra and the bladder at the end of a process called. neck of the bladder. If the entire stream of bloody, then the cause usually lies in the wall of the bladder or if the bleeding from the kidney. If bleeding is not accompanied by any other symptoms, it is highly likely that the cause of bladder tumor process. In these cases require further urologic treatment.


Blood in urine is always a worrying sign of kidney or urinary tract and requires a detailed search. One of the most common causes of kidney stones, which run along the urethra mucosal injury and bleeding, which is usually accompanied by severe pain (kidney or renal colic).



"Painless" blood in his urine contains more detailed diagnostic evaluation to determine from which part of the urinary tract and blood. In view of the islands and high blood pressure, it is very likely that the blood in the urine due through the renal glomeruli, and this is supported by the appearance of protein in the urine.

Mandatory Search

Since it is usually caused by glomerular immune response and inflammatory damage to the kidney tissue, laboratory tests of this assumption must be confirmed or rejected.

It is the case of a young person, it is necessary to exclude an autoimmune disease that can affect the kidneys. Besides immunological laboratory tests, how they are damaged glomeruli can be determined indirectly by measuring the amount of protein excreted in 24 hours.

Determining the number of deformed red blood cells in the urine can be determined whether the red blood cells pass through the damaged glomeruli or originating from the urinary tract.

Be sure to do an ultrasound examination of the kidneys. It is determined by their size (small, shrunken kidneys are the long-term, chronic disease, and enlarged, swollen with acute) and checks to see if there are cysts that can also cause these symptoms.

The final diagnosis is kidney biopsy - removal of tissue for microscopic analysis of the kidneys. On this basis, it can be appropriate to spend Terpija you conclude about the prognosis of the disease.

Islands that are repeated often on the limbs and eyelids are a sign of salt retention and therefore water in the body, resulting in the pathophysiology of many renal impairment occurred. This leads to an increase in arterial pressure, which is often the cause of headaches, in which patients complain.

Staying in hospital

For diagnostic evaluation and begin proper treatment will require a hospital stay, and then you need to reduce your intake of salt, do not take overly large amounts of fluids, do not expose the greater physical exertion and often during the day to rest in the supine position.

At this stage of the disease, while not yet done a complete diagnostic evaluation, it is necessary to take regular doses of appropriate drugs for lowering blood pressure, so that it is held within approximately 14o / 8O mmHg.

Then one can expect that the headache gradually disappear. Sure do and kidney function tests and other diagnostic procedures provided.

When symptoms of late

Chronic kidney disease can develop silently, and symptoms appear only when lose about 50 percent of the kidney. In this case, one can observe the island leg, arm and face, headaches, high blood pressure and extreme tiredness. In addition, almost the only sign that would point to kidney disease is the finding of protein in the urine that is dark in color.
