View allCan 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

I'm really concerned because my loved one has been diagnosed with pyelonephritis along with bilateral pleural effusion at Wockhardt Hospital on Mira Road. I'm wondering if we should seek a second opinion before starting any treatment. Do you think it's necessary to confirm the diagnosis with another doctor, or should we trust the findings and proceed with the treatment plan they've suggested? Any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated.
do CT scan and consult others physicians
