Preventing Microscopic Hematuria
When it comes to preventing microscopic hematuria, there are no specific measures that can guarantee its prevention. However, maintaining overall good health is essential. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests ensuring an adequate intake of fluids, particularly during physical activity. Insufficient water consumption can lead to kidney infections, which in turn may cause microscopic hematuria and various other complications.
How is Microscopic Hematuria Treated?
When microscopic hematuria is detected in a urine sample, the appropriate treatment will be determined by your doctor. To identify the underlying cause, you may be required to provide detailed answers to specific questions, and your doctor will schedule follow-up appointments or retests. If blood continues to be present in your urine or if you continue to experience symptoms, your doctor may refer you to a specialist for further tests to uncover the condition responsible for the microscopic hematuria.
