Urine occult blood is hematuria, which is the presence of excessive red blood cells in the urine. The degree of hematuria is not necessarily related to the severity of the disease, and hematuria is a symptom of many serious diseases. Once hematuria is detected, it is important to go to the hospital for further examination.
If there is pain in the abdomen and lower back, it may be caused by stones or ureteral polyps. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one. If there are symptoms such as frequent urination, increased nocturia, difficulty in urination and incontinence, it may be caused by prostate enlargement or bladder stones. Hematuria caused by serious diseases such as bladder tumor, pelvic cancer, or advanced kidney cancer is painless and can be seen with the naked eye throughout or intermittently. If the hematuria is accompanied by bright red blood clots, it is considered to be caused by bladder or urethral lesions.
Diseases such as leukemia, hemophilia, and aplastic anemia that have a tendency to bleed throughout the body can also cause hematuria. Systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute appendicitis, retroperitoneal and pelvic malignancies can also trigger hematuria. Unexplained hematuria may be associated with renal vascular malformations, microscopic stones, and renal papillary necrosis.
