Typically, blood that is only visible by microscope means the problem is in the upper urinary tract (kidneys), while visible blood means the problem is in the lower tract (ureters the tubes from kidneys to bladder, the bladder, or the urethra which is the tube from the bladder to outside). But, of course, this is not always the case.

In almost all cases, blood in the urine is nothing serious. But since your mom has kidney problems, then you need to have it thoroughly checked out. I can't remember the cause of her kidney failure? It is possible that you have the same condition.

Blood in the urine is usually caused by an infection - but it can be caused by many many many other things, the worst of course, is cancer all the way down to trauma (e.g., intercourse). Some people have an infection and do not know it. Others have inflammation which precedes infection and that will cause blood in the urine too.

Bottom line is that it showed up again, so you need to see the pee doc

again.

Janet...Gayle just accused you of having crazy wild sex!!! Welllll.....??

I'm sorry Janet. I love you and I don't want you to have any more stress in your life. I was just trying to make you smile

Go to the doctor and take really good care of yourself. Let us know as soon as you find out ANYTHING! I will PRAY!!

You'll know tomorrow? Please, post as soon as you know what's up (down there).
You are so right. You don't need anymore in your life!

Hopefully, you can continue with your wanton sex life that Betsi pointed out

Janet · 01-13-2010, 07:50 AM

You ladies are so so bad!!!!

There is no sex life...but now if the right one came along....who knows.....

It did make me smile, Betsi!!!

None of us know for sure why Mom's kidney's have failed. We think it's because her blood supply kept getting so low everytime she needed a transfusion and that was happening every other month for over a year. They did find a tear and hole in her colon, they were able to fix that, but said it's prone to happen again. Her blood is in her stool....mine is in my urine. Hope it's nothing too serioius, but ya know....right now I'm so exhausted dealing with Mom...I'm too tired to worry just yet.

Thank you Gayle....I (we) sure love you and the knowledge you share with us.

Judy....I should know on Thursday because my Dr. is closed on Wednesday. It will probably be later in the day because I have to take Mom to Lafayette to the dialysis center.

Me too, and now Janet is laughing at us

Janet · 01-14-2010, 04:12 PM

Yes....you're all a little nuts....but then again...that really helps....LOL.

Dr. said everything came back great with the microscopic tests. Not sure how when there is blood there somewhere. He said we'll do another test in 3 months and then if it's still showing blood, he'll send me to a kidney Dr. Hmmmmm I'm just not sure about that.
