What's the matter with 20 in urine occult blood?

A urine occult blood result of 2+ indicates that the urine occult blood is positive, indicating that abnormalities have occurred in the body. This may be caused by inflammation, such as a urinary tract infection; it may also be caused by diseases such as kidney stones; it may also be nephritis; the most serious is a tumor. If it is benign, surgical removal can be sufficient. If it is malignant, it will be more troublesome and will require a series of treatments such as chemotherapy in addition to surgical treatment.

1. Urine test for occult blood

According to experts, occult blood 2+ is the principle of urine analyzer to detect hemoglobin or red blood cells. It uses the heme in hemoglobin in red blood cells to have an activity similar to catalase, which can catalyze hydrogen peroxide to release new ecological oxygen, oxidize the receptor and cause it to change color.

Urine occult blood is mainly used for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney, urinary tract diseases and other related diseases. However, if the urine contains myoglobin, heat-labile enzymes, oxidants or bacteriuria (the presence of VitC in urine can produce false negatives), the dry chemical method of urine occult blood determination may present a false positive result; the most common cause of hematuria is urinary system diseases, which are common in glomerulonephritis, renal cysts, stones, urinary tract infections, etc. It can also be seen in systemic diseases and blood system diseases. The case information you provided is too simple and cannot determine the cause. Transient hematuria can be seen in pollen, chemical substances or drug allergies, strenuous exercise, viral infections, etc. It is recommended to regularly review urine routine tests, bilateral kidney B-ultrasound, etc. to confirm the diagnosis.

"Modern Practical Chinese Medicine" records that shepherd's purse "stops bleeding, treats pulmonary hemorrhage, uterine hemorrhage, miscarriage bleeding, menorrhagia, ... or retinal hemorrhage." Changchun Medical College once reported a case of chylous occult blood, "Take 500 grams of shepherd's purse, wash and boil it into soup. After eating it for 4 days, the hematuria returned to normal (including naked eye and microscopic examination)." Professor Ye Juquan's "Food Chinese Medicine and Convenient Prescriptions" also introduced that eating shepherd's purse for hematuria caused by renal tuberculosis is also quite effective, "240 grams of fresh shepherd's purse, or 30 grams of dried shepherd's purse, add 3 bowls of water and boil in a clay pot. When there is 1 bowl of juice left, beat in 1 egg, cook it, then add a little salt, and eat the vegetable and egg together. If the vegetable is old, you can chew it and spit out the residue. For mild cases, take it once a day, and for severe cases, take it twice a day. Take it for 1 month as a course of treatment. After the common symptoms disappear, you can still take 1 to 2 courses of treatment."
