Hello doctor,
I have scattered subcentimeter hypoattenuating hepatic lesions that are too small to characterize. Also, I have had trace amounts of blood in my urine each time I tested it for the last four years. I do not have any other symptoms. Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Microscopic hematuria can be caused by the renal stone, which is asymptomatic. Tiny stone usually does not need intervention and can be followed up with an ultrasound every six months. Shock wave therapy is indicated if the stone gets larger than 5 mm. Stones can be treated with tablet Rowatinex (Sodium ethyl parahydroxybenzoate and Sodium propyl parahydroxybenzoate), two tablets thrice daily for three months. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them and take medications with their consent. Small lesions in the right kidney present for the last three years can be benign lesions and also do not require intervention. Six monthly ultrasounds seem to be sufficient, and if there is any change, only then a CT (computed tomography) scan can be repeated. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Thank you.
