Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it kidney disease if morning urine is red when I wake up?Doctor's answer:
How long has the urine been red? Does it happen every time? Does your lower back hurt? If you have any symptoms, don't assume the worst at first. Start by checking step by step. Go to the hospital for blood and urine tests. If the white blood cell count is high, it might be a urinary tract infection. If the red blood cell count is high, consider whether it could be acute or chronic nephritis. It's too early to conclude about uremia at this point.
