Blood in the urine

Blood in the urine can be a symptom of serious illness. Blood in the urine tah you can see with the naked eye is called makrohematuria, while the presence of blood visible under the microscope is microhematuria.
Blood in urine that can be seen with the eye  is usually preceded by the presence of stones in the urinary system, it may be a sign of infection, especially when accompanied by painful urination and fever. Blood in the urine can be a sign of renal tuberculosis. Dark, coagulated blood in the urine, the presence of fresh blood may be a sign of cancer urinary tract (kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra). Blood in the urine with stormy symptoms, such as pain, fever, shivering usually speak in favor of inflammation, and blood in the urine often without pain is a sign of malignancy.



Blood in the urine is a serious symptom that does not go by itself. If you notice blood in your urine then call your doctor.  Blood in the urine is a serious alarm with patients of all ages!
Our body has the perfect warning mechanisms, allowing us at the right time warns that we must go to the doctor.

When determining the cause of blood in the urine have to be very careful. It is important to analyze the accompanying symptoms.

Sudden appearance of blood in the urine accompanied by burning and frequent urination, usually a sign of  urinary bladder inflammation (cystitis), or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis). Bladder infections are more common in women, due to the fact that their urethra is shorter than the male. With  tea and optimal antibiotic most symptoms will disappear. Selection of antibiotics is needed to make the microbiological examination of urine (urine). 

The blood at the beginning of the jet of urine usually ukazue the problem comes from the urethra.Blood stream at the end usually indicates a process in the neck of the bladder. 
If blood is visible during the entire bladder, then the process is usually in the wall of the bladder or kidney. IF blood in the urine is not accompanied by other symptoms, THEN there is a high suspicion that the tumor of the change is the cause bleeding.
MUST go urologist.

Prolonged presence of small amounts of red blood cells in the urine routine examination of urine can be a symptom of many diseases: glomerulonephritis, tuberculosis, stones, tumors, metabolic diseases), but also can be an innocuous occurrence of a condition called benign hematuria family (benign familial hematuria).
Changes in the color of urine can cause some ingredients from the food (beet) and certain medications.
Routine urine (biochemical urine), urine culture, serum creatinine and renal ultrasound are routine tests that need to be made. Based on these findings, the doctor will make an assessment of whether there is a need to do intravenous urography, cystoscopy, CT and renal biopsy.
Fear is normal for a person in their urine before the blood. Try to beat the fear, and do not always think about the worst outcome!

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.
