Hematuria (Blood in Urine)
When blood is found in your urine via routine testing but your family doctor, or if you see it yourself, both situations may be serious and require investigation by a urologist. Since the source of the blood may be anywhere along the urinary tract from the kidney all the way down to the urethra, as well as involve blood conditions or conditions that themselves may negatively affect the health of the kidney, the gold standard to evaluate the entire urinary tract.
When referred to Dr. Feifer, he will assess the needs of your case via a combination of the following diagnostic tests.
- Quick urology consultation via history and physical exam
- Urine microscopy
- Urine culture
- Urine cytology
- Cystoscopy
- Abdominal ultrasound
- CT Urography
- Magnetic resonance urography
- Referral to nephrology
If anything that merits therapy is found from the tests above as well, rest assured that Dr. Feifer will discuss all information with you in a timely fashion, follow up on all tests, and discuss a treatment strategy tailored to your case and needs.
