Peeing blood...blood in urine...no pain...what could cause it?

by divinemadness, Jun 01, 2008 04:00PM
I woke up yesterday, having to pee,  i went to pee and barely anything came out, but a few drops of blood.  I thought "odd"  and drank some water to make me pee.  20 min later,  I peed a little but, with a whole lotta blood.  Its like I cut my arm open and drained it into a cup with urine in it.  

(There were no weird things happening the day before or the day of.  It isn't my period, Its my urine. I take no medications, just a multi vitamin.)

I called my doctor and he told me to go the emergency room.

So i went to the Er,  and after 10 hours, blood tests, cat scan, and urine tests,  they tell me they "think" I have a uti.

I have NO PAIN what so ever. I feel fine, yet I was peeing blood like it was normal.  And ALOT of it,  the girls at the hospital in the lab, said they've never seen that much blood in urine and it be called a UTI and that something more has to be wrong and to go to urologist and if I'm still bleeding in the morning go back to the ER.  

I've had UTIS years ago, and never bled with them.  I have no pain, no burning, no nothing.  Just a slight urge to pee constantly and then barely beeing.  I look a bit bloated like all the water I've been drinking isnt coming out.  This morning 24 hrs later, the bleeding stopped.

My blood pressure was normal... 123/73,  temperaute 98.2.  

My labs that I got copies of have alot of abnormalties as well, such as:

Blood Chemistry(fasting)):
Glucose, 100 mg/dl,  max ref range is 100.  
Hematology:
WBC: 12.5, high, ref range is 4.0-11.0
Baso % 1.6, high, ref range is .0-1.5
Coagulation:
INR: 1.0, low, ref range: 2.0-3.0

Urinalysis:
Color: Red, abnormal
Clarity: cloudy, abnormal
U blood: large, says abnormal
ph 6.0
protein: 100, says abnormal should be negative for protein, i have 100 mg/dl? <---this worries me the most.
leukocytes: large * abnormal



Does anyone know, what could cause this much blood in urine?  and NO pain?

Any ideas... I'm trying to figure this out, u can see in the pic how bloody my urine is.

oh i forgot to add,  the cat scan showed nothing wrong, no stones, no lesions/adhesions, no endometriosis.

ive had kidney stones 4 yrs ago and they are excruciatingly painful and i passed them as well.

Hi,

Do you remember doing any exercises recently?

There could be several causes for the blood in urine - urinary tract infection being the most probable and common cause of such symptoms.

You should drink plenty of water and see if the urine clears up - if not it would help to consult your doctor.

You could read more about the condition at the following links -

and

Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.

Regards.

Could extreme abdominal excercises really cause blood in the urine?
