What Causes Blood In Urine And Frequent Need To Urinate?

hi there ive been having an on going urine problem for years and really need help. Whenever i have my urine tested it always had blood in it even when i have no other symptoms. I get symptoms of an uti on and off and have lower back pain. Sometimes i need to urinated all the time and sometimes it can be painful. Whenever i have a drink i dont seem to hold on to it very long and will have to go a few times in the space of a few minutes. Ive had a bladder exam and a scan on my kidneys and nothing. I took 3 months of antibiotics and it made no difference. Its making me so upset because i have to constantly think about weather ive drunk enough because as soon as i dont it gets a lot worst. Please help

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the issue does not sound to be related to simple urinary tract infection, which would have been controlled with a number of antibiotics until now.

I suspect, some sort of autoimmune disorder affecting kidney via antibodies formation and affecting the function with resultant blood in the urine.

A thorough systemic work up with urologist with the possible need of CT guided kidney biopsy would prove diagnostic in the majority of the cases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
