What is occult blood?
Urinary occult blood is an item in the routine urine test and if there is a
small increase of the red blood cell in the urine test, it is called occult
blood which can also be an indicator of disease. Usually the occult blood is
caused by the kidney problems or urinary tract infections.

In case of occult blood, we can not see red blood cells with naked eyes or
under the microscope. However it can be checked in the test paper. This is
because when the red blood cell is damaged, its heme will be released and so
that the urine test paper can detect the reaction of the heme. And why the red
blood cells will burst before leaving the body. This is because the red blood
cells have gone through their lives or too much intake of water causes the
rupture of the red blood cells. Anyway, once there is occult blood in the urine,
enough attention should be paid to it just as the blood in urine (hematuria in
pkd)and this condition should not be underestimated.Hematuria and Kidney Disease
Causes of occult blood in urine
Generally there are altogether 3 reasons for the occult blood:
1. Inflammation such as in cases of glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and
cystitis, there will be occult blood in urine besides the proteinuria.Proteinuria and Kidney Disease
2. Stones in the kidneys, ureter or the bladder can all cause occult blood.
When passing urine, the small stones will cut the blood vessels and cause blood

3. Tumors such as tumors in the kidneys, bladder and ureter, whether the
tumor is malignant or benign.How Critical Is Blood in Urine in Case of Polycystic Kidneys
Damages of the kidneys
All the above and many other factors can cause occult blood and when there is
dysfunction in the renal microcirculation, there will be lack of blood and
oxygen to the kidneys and as a result, the inflammatory mediators will be
released and the process of renal fibrosis will be started. In such conditions,
proper treatment (Natural Treatment for Hemorrhagic Cysts in Kidney)should be
taken as soon as possible or the kidneys’ conditions will continue to
deteriorate and the glomeruli will develop into the stage of fibrosis and
sclerosis. Only if the renal fibrosis is blocked, can the damages be reversed
and then the occult blood can disappear naturally.
