is traces of blood in the urine normal? shown in the doctors office?

Answer 1

Get your kidneys tested. I have a condition called benign familial microhematuria -- which means I have blood in microscopic levels in my blood at all times. It's a genetic trait. Had my kidneys biopsied when I was three. Have had my kidneys monitored all my life. I have to be very careful with any kind of infection -- left untreated could damage my kidneys.

Answer 2

this is not normal. but it is also not uncommon. there are alot of factors to consider. how old are you? are you menstruating? had you just finished your cycle or were you about to start? these tests are very sensitive and will pick up the tiniest trace of blood. sometimes even from vaginal irritation, possibly from intercourse. if none of the above apply to you, you have to consider other possibilities. are you having pain in the area of your kidneys (flank pain)? this is on your back on each side about mid way up. do you have pain or burning when you urinate? you could have any number of things from a urinary tract infection (often called a bladder infection or cystitis), to kidney stones, to something as serious as cancer. I would reccommend rechecking the urine again in a week or two. If you had this done with no symptoms, chances are it was an isolated event and will be fine next time. hope this is helpful.

Answer 3

Traces of blood in the urine are not normal and could be indicative of many medical conditions including but not limited to; urinary tract infection, kidney infection, kidney stones, or bladder infection.

Answer 4

Depends, were you menstruating. I know it would be an obvious explanation, but sometimes the doctors wants to be extra sure. Make sure you definitely follow up on this.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Follow up the doctor if it is seen again. Don't be quite sure in a first trial.
