What is the significance of urinary erythrocyte malformation rate


Committed to your health journey.
Clinically, when examining the abnormal rate of urinary red blood cells, it is mainly to judge the specific source of hematuria, which can be divided into nephrogenic hematuria and non-nephrogenic hematuria. For nephrogenic hematuria, the red blood cell abnormality rate is often greater than 70%, mainly because when red blood cells pass through the basement membrane of the kidney, the mesh of the basement membrane is smaller than the diameter of red blood cells, and red blood cells show morphological changes in the filtration process, which will show red blood cells with high abnormality rate in urine. Hematuria is often caused by inflammation of the kidney. Treatment of primary diseases or renal damage caused by secondary diseases should be carried out. If the red blood cell abnormality rate is less than 70%, it is often caused by urinary tract epithelium, such as urinary stones, ureter cancer or bladder cancer, and new organisms in the ureter and bladder mucosa, such as polyps and tumors, will show red blood cell exudation. However, the red blood cell morphology is directly into the urine, there will not be many abnormal red blood cells. Therefore, when the patient shows this situation, he should check whether there are specific pathological changes in the urothelia in time and treat the primary disease.
