Why I Have Blood Urine with FSGS

For children with FSGS, proteinuria and edema are the leading symptoms, but for adult FSGS patients, aside from protein in urine, they may have blood in urine.

Blood urine is called hematuria in clinical and it is the presentation of excessive red blood cells in urine. Blood urine is clinically divided into two types: microscopic hematuria and gross hematuria. For adults with FSGS, microscopic hematuria is more common, which means only with medical tests, can they know whether they are suffering blood urine symptom.

As blood urine can not be found with naked eyes in many cases of FSGS, it is easy to be ignored. Without medical treatment, microscopic hematuria can become gross hematuria, which means kidney damages become more serious and more and more red blood cells have leaked from kidney.

Long-term blood urine cause anemia directly, which can present FSGS patients symptoms like fatigue, poor concentration, and pale look and so on. Therefore, to avoid these bad symptoms, regular examination for red blood cells in urine is necessary. And if FSGS patients are unfortunately diagnosed with blood urine, effective medical treatment must be given as soon as possible. And this will help to slow down the progression of FSGS.

With blood urine caused by FSGS, patients can ingest more iron, folic acid, vitamin B and vitamin C to prevent anemia. Foods with these substances include lemon, lime, melons, gree leafy vegetables, raw milk, raw seafood, raisins, apricots, almonds, spinach, broccoli and collards and kale and so on. Although you will not be certainly free from anemia by eating these foods, the occurrence of it can be delayed effectively.
