I have gross hematuria due to kidney stones and having stents put in both kidneys because I have stones in both kidneys. I was hospitalized about a month ago because one of the stones got stuck in the ureter causing a blockage and an infection which led to sepsis. I was told if I waited 12 more hours I wouldn’t be here today. It was a real scary situation that changed my life quite a bit. I have to go for surgery to get the stones taken out I hope I will be okay!
Thanks! My mother has had hematuria for over a year. Her presumptive diagnosis has been “blood thinners” and although she’s on Apixiban (which does not require INR), I’ve told her that isn’t a diagnosis unless they actually prove that her INR is supratherapeutic. Anyhow, I forwarded your video to her so she can see that blood thinners isn’t even in your differential. Hoping she’ll seek a second opinion.
@@act2.371 She no longer shares her medical information with me… I try not to pry. I know she’s in a lot of pain, but I’m waiting for her to come around.
Thank you for the great synthesis! 🍀🙏 I find it difficult to make a diagnosis from a single physical exam finding or symptom. The approach of thinking retrospectively I mean.
I have had microscopic hematuria for decades. It comes and goes and they have never found a cause for it. My new Urologist wants to possibly do another cystoscopy since it's been 15+ years since my last one. I really don't want to have that again because my first urologist was an asshole and it hurt.
Gross hematuria is an understatement of what I have. I pee big clots of what I've been told is coagulated blood but it looks more like chunks of my kidney....very meaty. I do have kidney cancer and I've had an embolization on my kidney to stop the bleeding but it's made everything much worse .
I had that and was passing kidneystones. When I adhered to a strict plant based diet with no coffee or tea and a gallon of distilled water a day it all went away. Fresh green coconut water eased the cold sweats and spasms. No more pain.
@@aishaadams9975 For years while I was eating meat and drinking coffee, tea, and alcohol, I would pee meaty chunks like this lady says, and it was hellishly painful. The doctors put me on septra and bactrim but it always came back. Like I said, eating a whole plant diet and drinking a gallon of distilled water a day made it leave and also my capacity to hold urine doubled. Which means calcification left.
Six months ago I had a UTI with a little visible blood and antibiotics cleared it all up. But due to my senior status they did an in office scope and also got a ct scan. Both showed thickened walls with inflamed looking veins. So the dr prescribed more antibiotics and said lets look at it again in 6 months. Just so happens I passed more blood right before my appt. So he scheduled another scope this time in the hospital for a biopsy. Many years ago my liver enzymes went out the roof and I was diagnosed with an autoimmune problem and prednisone cleared it up. My urologist said it could be something similar with my bladder but cancer is always possible. So in a couple of weeks I get to go through this ordeal. I hope it's not the big C.
@@Mr_3raqi It ended up being cancer but a 'low grade' type that was non-invasive. I received 6 weeks of BCG Imunnothearpy which is supposed to be highly effective with this type of cancer. I've had 2 scopes since and both look clear of the cancer. So hopefully no more treatments but will have many more scopes for observation purposes over the next few years. But my urologist feels good about my case and I feel very fortunate to this point too. Thanks for asking.
I have urine strips to check for ketones since I was doing keto , I thought so I would get like plus 2 for blood, and I went to see a urologist and they never found nothing, got me a bit anxiety , so yea it should be from dehydration and exercises !
I am à clinical pathologiste, since five years I have microscopic hematuria, today after five years I test it again, I hade more than 500 hundreds of dysmorphic and normal RBC mean mixed form, I have in sign and symptoms, except varicocelle ,which was operated one year back,,, also creatinineurie was 5 times higher than the normal values, few crystals also seen. I don’t know what shall I do, how to find the sources, five months back I have done CT scan abdominal for lumbar back pain which didn’t show any malignancy, my age is 35 years old. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know the life expectancy for glumerulonephritis, Any guide ¿ Thank you.
Yes, that's correct. However, microscopic hematuria should still be evaluated with a physician (which might only include a repeat UA in 4-6 weeks if the patient has no risk factors for cancer).
@@shakilahmad3809 I'm fine, I went and got my cat scan and they told me it's a common thing. They just want to make sure it's not cancer related and the scams are pretty good at showing it. But mines came back normal. My doctor still wants a urologist to examine my urine, just to close the case, but it's not a requirement. I wish you luck, and let me k on how it goes

Scenario question for you.. (I come across this quite a bit.) Patients who present to urgent care for UTI symptoms, UA looks like a UTI, but then culture comes back negative...

Hello. I'm a 20 years old man and I've been having hematuria for almost a month. My urine color is dark brown. I don't feel any pain or burning when I'm peeing. My blood analysis is normal. Ultrasound and CT scan detect nothing. Anyone can help me?
I can't comment on difference in word usage between countries, but in the US, blood in the urine that was believed to be caused by urethral bleeding would definitely still be called hematuria.

Sadly the textbooks do refer to this, even with blood thinners, patients with risk factors (age) should be evaluated further
Hope she's doing well!
Easy, clear, and informative approach, Brilliant!. Thank you doctor

Thank you. This popped up into my recommendations just when I needed it. Brilliant!
Love your main chart , very precise and comprehensive. Husband has gross hematuria.
The most common cause of hematuria that I see is related to anticoagulant therapy ! Thank you !

Culture negative UTI are generally seen due to abuse of antibiotics
