I'm really worried about my uncle who's a dialysis patient and is 67 years old. Usually, his blood pressure hovers around 160180, occasionally hitting 120140, but after his last dialysis session three days ago, it's dropped to 10070. Today, during dialysis, it went even lower, between 8090. What can we do to help increase his blood pressure?

Can a urine dysmorphic RBC test really tell if the blood in my urine is coming from my kidneys or the urethra? I had results showing 1012 cellshpf in my urine, but when I did the test again 4 days later, it dropped to 12 cellshpf. Does this mean it was a false reading, or could the sample have been off? I'm a bit confused about what to make of these results.
Yes ideally Dysmorphic RBCs indicate renal problem,but in your case as it is an incidental finding for once and is not continuing you can ignore it,if you are woried visit Nephrologist for evaluation and appropriate management
