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 week of discomfort in the penis (no edema, no lower back pain or fatigue). After a physical examination showed no abnormalities, the urine test results were: trace blood 3+, red blood cells 23 (reference range 0-17). The ultrasound examination results were normal. After returning home, they took cefixime for a week. A few days later, on March 29th, a follow-up examination showed: trace 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 should not be too large.Your child's current condition cannot be confirmed as nephritis.
Simple urinary occult blood does not require treatment and is not significant.
