Most of the drug-induced hematuria will recover in 3 to 5 days after stopping the drug. If hematuria is not relieved, one should be alert to factors such as stones and infections, and prompt medical attention is recommended.
Common clinical drugs, such as sulfadiazine, mannitol, indomethacin, and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, etc., need to be excreted through the kidneys after taking them, and are prone to cause some damage to the kidneys, thus causing drug hematuria, which needs to be immediately discontinued under the advice of a doctor, and drink plenty of water and urinate in order to flush the urinary tract and alleviate the symptoms of hematuria. Usually 3~5 days can return to normal.
However, if the drug is not relieved for a long time, it may be related to the serious renal function impairment or other non-drug factors such as infection, stones, etc. It is recommended that the patient should consult the hospital to improve the urine routine, renal function tests, as well as urological imaging to clarify the cause of the disease.
Drug-induced hematuria suggests that patients consult a regular hospital in a timely manner and standardize treatment under the guidance of a physician.
