No, shortly after I stopped running it stopped, but continued to be traces.
I had similar issue in January. It was an 11mm kidney stone. I pissed blood, vs blood in urine. Hoped in the car and went to ER. Had it blasted 2 weeks later. That was also weird. Pissed chunks of blood.
Drink tons of water. Hopefully itās just a stone
Had that problem it was kidney stone no pain
.
Most likely is kidney stone. Rhabdo is unlikely as it would come with many other symptoms. Also on the list to rule out is a urological cancer as mentioned by another person that posted here. ThereĆ¢ā¬ā¢s a very standard workup for gross hematuria that should be done to rule out the bad stuff. Last runner that I saw with this turned out to be a big kidney stone, she had no pain either. IĆ¢ā¬ā¢m supposed to finish up the same workup on myself at some point, IĆ¢ā¬ā¢ve just been lazy after the CT didnĆ¢ā¬ā¢t show kidney stones and I didnĆ¢ā¬ā¢t have a UTI. IĆ¢ā¬ā¢m a urology PA so I work this up on patients all the time.

Thanks. I was thinking, surely you are highly highly unlikely to suffer rhabdo from simply doing a 2 hour run?
So results back from doc and not surprisingly itās not rhabdo. Have booked in for a CT scan which will hopefully tell us what is going onā¦
Good luck, and its good youāre getting it looked after !

So CT scan showed no kidney stones or tumors. Had more blood tests and daily urine samples which Iāll be discussing the results of with the doc tomorrow.
The frustrating bit is Iāve had pretty much 2 weeks off training, went for very leisurely 1hr run today, peed straight afterā¦ and it was redā¦ Ć°ÅøĖĀ
Iāve tried cycling and it doesnāt have the same effect, so there is something about running that is causing this. Any thoughts or ideas? I have a IM race Sunday and really want to decide if I should pull outā¦

No reason to pull out of your IM race which is coming up. From what you have described there is really very little harm that you could do. Disclaimer-I am an MD, but not a urologist. I would not have said a kidney stone first up, more likely some bladder trauma from the running itself, I have done it to myself when running on an empty bladder a few times.

Just seeing this one, follow your MDĆ¢ā¬ā¢s advice, but sounds like pseudohematuria (runners hematuria) to me. Mechanical versus some other mechanism. Like everything else your organs need some time to adapt; bladder and kidney. Be curious to know your running background. Good luck, hope I am right as it is fairly benign, although not to he ignored.
Cheers!
Well Im not really all that ānewā to running. Have done about 7 70.3ās with a 1:35 run, a 3:20 marathon, so whilst not fast by ST standards I wouldnāt necessarily say Im new to running, but have never had this happen before.

Thanks, when it happened to you how long did it take to go away. I have done basically no training for the last 2.5 weeks and was hoping it would have resolved itself by now.

It was intermittent, in that it would happen on some runs, I would pee blood for the first few times after that run, then go away for weeks as such.
Is yours happening after each run?
You are probably staring down the barrel of having a little camera put up the family jewels and into your bladder to have a look at thingsā¦CT wonāt pick up everything.
Again, I would doubt there is anything there which would be seriously impacted by you doing the IM and just putting up with the blood in the interim period. You canāt bleed that much into there to be life threateningā¦(well you could but that would be an arterial bleeder but that wonāt be the case here)ā¦
My Dad had this in his 70s. Was kidney cancer. (They removed one in the end)
But heās far from the most active person and theres a history of Cancer on his side of the family.
So fingers crossed for you, hopefully itās nothing too serious.
Hi, have you had any more cases of gross hematuria? And have you undergone any further urological tests or not
