Patient's question:
Dear Experts and Professors,Hello!
I have a 3-year-8-month-old nephew. During a routine urinalysis during a hospital stay, his urine was found to have 2+ signs, commonly referred to as hematuria. Recently, he has also been experiencing frequent urination. We have already conducted urine culture, kidney function tests, and renal imaging, all of which have returned normal. However, under microscopic examination, there are still + signs.
We live in a small, remote town on the outskirts of Chongqing. For symptoms like this, which hospital should we go to for consultation? I sincerely hope that you can take some time out of your busy schedules to help me understand this condition.
Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, kidney disease and urinary tract infections can cause hematuria, but at the same time, there may also be abnormalities such as white blood cells. Additionally, when a child has fever or a cold or other illnesses, hematuria may occur. Therefore, if the child currently has other diseases, the primary illness should be treated first, while also increasing fluid intake. Follow up for a check-up in a few days. If it returns to normal, there is nothing to worry about.Children's bodies have weaker immunity, so they are prone to urinary tract infections. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
