Traces Of Blood In Urine, Urinating Little Black Specs. Positive ANA, High CRP. Treatment?
i have been seeing two Dr s for awhile now my primary and a rheumatologist . I have regular blood and urine tests. Other then high sed and crp rates and a positive ana blood tests are perfect. Urine tests are always positive for blood. They always say nothing to worry about. I just realized that when I urinate the little black specs I see in the toilet are coming from me. Do you have any ideas as to what this could be. I am a 51 year old female. Thank you!! .

Hello,
In normal urine traces of blood should not be present. The presence of blood and increase in creatinine in repeated urine tests show that there is damage involving the kidney. It may be due to the autoimmune disease and the drug side effect.
In my opinion it is advisible to consult a nephrologist to evaluate the status of your kidney.
