blood in urine
Is it common for a urine sample to evidence gross hematuria, ( baring some traumatic injury ) yet soon after show no trace of blood in a follow-up test soon there-after? Given such an alarming amount, obvious to the naked eye, would not, at least, some residual trace of that bleed still be detectable soon after the first sample?
Furthermore, whatever fluid consumed later came back the color of that liquid; water/ water, tea / straw color, etc.
Again, when I say blood I mean a deep, rich PINK , not seen as consequential to beet/pomegranate/green tea fluids the evening, before.
All the more odd, since no extra physical activity is in the picture.

You had beets the night before? That's known to cause urine color changes. Or did you have a urine test that showed a lot of blood? I'm a little confused.
If you had a lot of blood on a test, and the follow up showed no trace, what does the doctor say?

Hi, Thank you for your question. Follow these circumstances, and see if YOU come up with the same hunch I did:
1. Never had a report of blood in urine in past
2. Primary doc's urine test, just 4 wks prior, was clear
3. The night before Urology appoint., I drink some beet/pomegranate juice+ a little green tea 4 blood press.
4. Next day: urine sample alarms Urologist, calls it "real PINK!" ... after which he says " blood in the urine." He did not, specifically, say the test REVEALED it.
In addition, he ignores my information about the juices and tea.
5. OK, I'm in panic, now. He knows I am treating a prostate crisis with an alternative protocol. He offers to be my Urologist for it. Orders a CAT scan, which he marks under, investigation of "blood in urine."
6. Soon after leaving I sought a second opinion, That doctor's urine test came back: "NO TRACE OF BLOOD FOUND"
Question: If there is so much blood in urine that it is visible enough to the naked eye for the doc to say, "really PINK", can that blood vanish hours later, leaving no trace? I do not feel comfortable, confronting the doctor about this. What is YOUR sense of it?
Also, I have had sudden REAL PINK urines from that day to now ... just my green tea, straw color and water

Sorry, must correct a typo: I have had NO real pink urine events since the Urologist visit ... moreover, I can't swear to it, but when I didd the sample I think I recall seeing dARK urine already IN in deposit system. My stream was straw colored ... Yet, can't swear. Thanks 4 reading
So you have a prostate condition? What kind of condition?
My guess is it was the beet/pomegranate juice, but unless it comes back, you may never know. You can also ask - not confront, but just ask - your doctor for clarification about the blood. Just say that you'd like clarification on it, and want to know if the blood was presumed because of the color, or was it found in testing?
