Patient's question:
Doctor, the child is 7 years old. On March 17th, they visited the Urology Department of Liyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital due to a sore penis (no edema, no back pain or fatigue) for one week. After a physical examination showed no abnormalities, the urine test results were: occult blood 3+, red blood cells 23 (reference range 0-17). The ultrasound results were normal. After returning home, they took cefixime for a week. A few days later, on March 29th, they had a follow-up examination, and the urine test results were: occult blood 2+, red blood cells 14. They were referred to the Nephrology Department, where the doctor diagnosed it as glomerulonephritis and prescribed a lot of traditional Chinese medicine. So far, they have been treated at Liyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, but they are not confident.Doctor's answer:
The values in the urine test can fluctuate slightly, which is normal. Generally, the difference shouldn't be too significant.The current condition of your child cannot be confirmed as nephritis.
A single trace of blood in the urine does not require treatment and is not significant.
