I had my annual physical 2/2008. No microscopic hematuria found in urinalysis. Gross (visible blood & clots) hematuria about 4/25/2008 and I ran to family doc again. He put me on cipro for an infection which was killed but, the follow up urinalysis still showed microscopic hematuria. That ssnt me down this path 1 week later with the URO & CT scan. That's why ANY blood, visible or not needs to be checked. Britt, I trust yours was caught early enough!
