What causes occult blood in urine for chronic kidney disease? "Occult blood"
simply means "hidden" blood; blood that is not visible, but is still present.
Normally there is no blood in the urine. Blood can indicate an infection, kidney
stones, trauma, or bleeding from a bladder or kidney tumor.
When the red blood cells are damaged, the heme in it will release, so we can
test it by coupon or test paper. We can express the degree of occult blood by
occult 1+, occult 2+, 3+, etc just as protein 1+ and protein 2+, etc.
Occult blood, the same as hematuria, is a sign which indicates the damage of
kidney and we can not ignore. Once we find it out, we should monitor it and have
examination on both blood and urine such as protein, red blood cell, creatinine,
blood urea nitrogen and urea acid, etc. If proteinuria and hematuria last for 3
months, it can be diagnosed with kidney disorder or kidney disease. As for the
treatment, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is recommended, which is
abstracted from natural herbs and can repair the damaged cells for it contains
active materials and can treat occult blood from root.
