Last year during my class 1 renewal the AME found blood in my urine. Had to go to a Urologist, did all the tests, scans, scope etc. All results clear. Have my renewal next week and have tested myself usinng the multistrips and it has come back again with blood in my urine.
Am I going to have to get all the scans every single year if it keeps showing up at medicals? or with my previous 'all clear' from my Urologist will the AME allow me to have my class 1 without any further tests??

Rednex, if you have only seen a urologist, I would suggest you track down a nephrologist (kidney specialist). I first saw a urologist and got the all clear, but further investigation by the nephrologist turned up a chronic kidney problem.Worth doing, as persistant or recurring haematuria can be one of the VERY early signs of kidney issues and as with anything else, the earlier you know, the better the long term outcome.Good luck!
