Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
Blood (RBCs) in urine and iron deficiency anaemia is common in Beta thalassemia minor patients. I do not think so cystoscopy is required, as the Ultrasound of the abdomen is normal. But discuss this with your physician and then proceed.
All the best.
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar

welcome to healthcaremagic,
blood in urine can be worrisome for any parents.You need to see if there are any leucocytes in urine examination. Also try to find out what type of rbc's are seen on urine examination. does your child have any other symptoms. cystoscopy as investigation is the last to be done and plenty needs to be done prior to proceeding for that.

Thank you doctors for answering my query.My daughter has no other symptoms apart from dark colored[orangish] urine with visible blood drops in it. It has been 10 days now and there is no change.she has a habit of withholding urine for long time [like most kids]. Our physican adviced us to consult a padiatric, as there are no urologist here.The padiatric told us to wait for 3 months and if after 3 months blood is still seen then to go for biopsy of kidney[for checking].
Here there are no good doctors and most of the people get wrong diagnosis and suffer from the consequences.Those who can afford prefer to go oversees for checking and treatment.Please do kindly look into her reports and advice us what to do.We are very much worried.
URINE RESULT:
Albumin: NEGATIVE
Sugar: NEGATIVE
Epithelial cells: RARE
WBC Leukocytes: VERY RARE
RBC Erythrocytes: MANY
Germs: VERY RARE
Cylinders: Absent
LCD Crystals: ABSENT
Trichomonas: ABSENT
Yeasts and filaments: ABSENT
BIOCHEMISTRY RESULT:
GLYCEMIA[blood glucose] =4.07
UREA =4.5
CREATININE = 51.1
IRON TEST RESULT:=15.8 [the padiatric adviced us to give her multivitamin and iron.as she is thelesemic wont iron be harmful for her?
I will try to send u her full blood report as well. Please answer soon if possible.If this continues wont she loose much blood?What should we do to stop the blood?Kindly advice us what to do next.

Hi,
Welcome again to HealthcareMagic Forum,
I think, iron is not advisable in Thallasemia patients. Please do consult a good hematologist regarding this. Rest of the results are almost ok. Good Luck.
