Child has occult blood, red blood cells over 4000, why?

Patient's question:

Doctor, the child initially had occult blood with over 4,000 red blood cells and over 1,000 white blood cells, and protein in the urine. After intravenous fluids, a urinalysis showed fewer than 100 red and white blood cells, and no protein. The child has not had a morning urine test for a detailed urinalysis yet. Could this condition rule out nephritis? The child has just finished three days of IV drips.

Doctor's answer:

If you are currently using anti-inflammatory medications and your urinalysis has returned normal, the main consideration is the manifestation of a urinary tract infection. In this case, it is completely possible to rule out nephritis. It is recommended to develop the habit of drinking more water regularly and to pay attention to eating fewer acidic and spicy foods, which can help prevent the recurrence of these symptoms.
The above is the advice for the question "The child initially had hematuria with over 4,000 red blood cells." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
