How is blood in urine(hematuria) treated?

Condition analysis:
Hematuria is treated by treating its underlying cause. If no serious condition is causing hematuria, no treatment is needed. Hematuria caused by a UTI is treated with antibiotics; urinalysis should be repeated 6 weeks after antibiotic treatment ends to be sure the infection has resolved.

Instructions:
How does hematuria occur in HSP Nephritis? Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura is an immune-mediated condition. Patients may have low immunity or disordered immune system. In this case, antigens like infection, certain medication, etc will stimulates the immune system to produce antibody to fight against it and attack it. Immune complexes of the antigen and antibody form.

These immune complexes are then deposited in the small blood vessels under the skin, resulting in inflammation of the blood vessels. Besides, they can also be deposited in other tissues of the body, for instance, the kidneys. The body will lead to an inflammatory response to remove the immune complexes, leading to damage to kidney cells and tissues. When the small capillaries that filter blood in the kidneys (glomeruli) are damaged, big molecules like red blood cells will be released into urine, thus leading to the presence of hematuria.
