Patient's question:
Hematuria visible to the naked eye per hourDoctor's answer:
Now with red urine, everyone should not panic. First, it is important to distinguish between true hematuria and false hematuria. Some medications can cause red urine, such as aminopyrine, phenytoin sodium, rifampicin, and phenol red, which should be differentiated from true hematuria. There are many factors or causes that can lead to hematuria, which can generally be categorized into the following conditions:1. Urinary system diseases, such as various types of nephritis (acute glomerulonephritis, viral nephritis, hereditary nephritis, purpura nephritis), stones (kidney, bladder, ureter), tuberculosis of the heart and kidneys, various congenital malformations, trauma, and tumors.
2. Systemic conditions, such as bleeding disorders, leukemia, heart failure, sepsis, vitamin C and K deficiency, hypercalciuria, and neonatal conditions.
3. Physical and chemical factors, such as food allergies, radiation exposure, medications, toxins, and post-exercise.
To identify the cause and determine the location of the hematuria, it is very important. The three-cup test for urine can help identify the source of the hematuria, and the method is very simple. If you have had an ultrasound, there is no problem—don’t scare yourself!
Advice: It is best for you to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a healthy family.
