Blood in urine test?

i took a urine test and and they told me they found a moderate amount of blood in my urine, it wasnt visable to me or the doctor but was detected with the strip, so i went back the next day and they said it was still there but not as much as the day before, they said that there is trace blood, moderate, and it goes higher up, but im in the moderate range, what could cause this? should i worry? i heard one doc say it was protien and maybe i was dehydrated, i work out and am on a diet, i also took some antibiotics, could any of these cause this, some one help, i take another test in a couple of days
Answer:
Blood and/or protein in the urine is common after a heavy workout or after stress or when you are dehydrated. We commonly will ask patients to return in a week or so to be sure their urine is clear and that they don't have any kidney problems. If they have continuing heamturia (blood in urine), we look for pathologic causes (disease), but usually it is nothing to worry about.
you should be sure to stay well hydrated all the time to avoid kidney stones and esppecially during exercise, illness or infection, and hot weather.

Are you a girl? If so, then you might be on your period. Thats what the doctors told me. If you are a boy, I have no idea on how to help you on that. Sorry.

maybe your experiencing a male menstruating pattern... don't worry its normal.

You might have a urinary tract infection. If so, antibiotics should help with that.

Any blood in the urine without an obvious cause needs to be evaluated. The cause can be something very benign or something life threatening.

The evaluation does not require anything invasive unless something is found.

My father has stage 4 renal cell cancer one of the primary presenting signs is blood in the urine. If found early this is curable if you get to stage 4 (found late) it is fatal. This is rare but it is better to be safe than check things out now.

Could be a kidney stone, could be infection, but you would have bacteria in your urine if it was bacterial infection.
