What is the reason for high urine occult blood?

Studies have found that there are many clinical reasons for high urinary occult blood. The most common one is inflammation, such as urinary tract infection. In addition, stones, tumors, etc. are also the causes of the high incidence of this disease. If it is a female friend, this phenomenon will also occur after menstruation, and no special treatment is required. Experts say that after suffering from this disease, in addition to active treatment, you should also pay attention to your diet, drink plenty of water, etc.

1. What is the cause of high urine occult blood?

Generally, occult blood in urine is attributed to the following three reasons: inflammation, stones, and tumors. Regarding inflammation, such as glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, cystitis, etc., in addition to hematuria, occult blood may also occur in urine tests. The stones themselves, whether they are kidney, ureter or bladder stones, may cause occult blood. Other situations such as constipation during menstruation may also cause occult blood.

In addition, tumors can also cause occult blood, such as benign or malignant tumors of the kidney, bladder, and ureter. Of course, older men have prostate hypertrophy and excessive residual urine, which makes the bladder prone to inflammation. The blood vessels on the surface of the prostate are congested, and they have difficulty urinating. After straining to urinate, they may have hematuria or occult blood. In fact, prostate hypertrophy is also a type of tumor. It is a tumor of the prostate, which becomes enlarged due to proliferation. Therefore, tumors of the urinary tract should not be taken lightly. At this time, intravenous pyelography should be performed. If there is no problem with the angiography, transitional cell tumor can be ruled out. Urinalysis should also be checked regularly. If there is still occult blood, you should go to the nephrology department for treatment and perform a renal puncture biopsy if necessary.

The most worrying thing is hematuria caused by nephritis. Many patients, including many children, suffer from repeated attacks of the disease due to kidney disease or incomplete treatment of the disease. They have hematuria and cannot find the cause. At this time, proteinuria and edema may also occur. At this time, they should not simply receive symptomatic treatment, but go to a specialist hospital for reexamination and systematic treatment based on the kidney disease and previous medical history.

Treatment of occult blood in urine

After the test results come out, occult blood bothers some people. In addition to objective factors such as exercise-induced hematuria and drug-induced hematuria, we should also conduct relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis. When urinary tract infection, stones, tumors and other factors are excluded, the possibility of kidney disease should be considered. At this time, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Many patients with occult blood in urine neglect treatment in the early stages, thus delaying the disease.

In kidney diseases, such as acute and chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc., hematuria will occur. When various pathological damages lead to local microcirculation disorders in the damaged kidney, renal tissue will be ischemic and hypoxic, thereby releasing inflammatory mediators and initiating the process of renal fibrosis. At this time, local pathological changes will occur in the glomeruli: mesangial cell proliferation, increased mesangial matrix, changes in the glomerular basement membrane, leading to charge barrier damage and increased renal permeability, resulting in urinary occult blood and proteinuria.

With the leakage of hematuria and proteinuria, kidney damage is further aggravated, and the glomeruli gradually progress to the stage of fibrosis and sclerosis. Clinically, systematic and targeted treatment should be adopted to promptly block the process of renal fibrosis and avoid renal failure caused by the gradual reduction of functional renal units.
