kidey failure? cancer?

[jimmy7777]

I am freaking out I think I might be going into kidney failure. First my urethra was itching and burning, then I wasnt peeing as much as usual, and I always have the urge to urinate right after I go. My legs have been itching ,and I have three bruises on my leg that I dont know where they came from. I am a 26 year old male with no history of kidney disease or problems. The doctors checked my urine and said there is no infection, but they do say there is a small amount of blood in my urine. does this sound like kidney failure , please respond ASAP I am freaking out

i think theres something going on but it does not sound like kidney failure. i just had an extremely large amount of blood in my urine. i think they should check into this further but i think your kidneys sound like they are working ok. usually u would have trouble peeing all together i think. obviously i'm not a docter but i'd say no on the failure.

Your doc should have dip sticks that tell you, its usually routine for docs to check blood and protein in urine so if his not told you that u hav dont worry, also if you nwere going into kidney failure you would be swelled every where u would blow up like a ballon, and you will have no urine output

no swelling, but how do I tell if there is protein in my urine?

Are your legs swelled or your feet or ankles, do you have protein in your urine
