Blood in my Urine?

[Catabolic IBS]

Blood in the urine or "Haematuria" is actually a common occurance in General practice. The most common cause is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Most of these infections are self limiting and trancient as is the associated Haematuria. The next most common cause is Kidney stones or "Renal Calculi". Clearly the GP or AME has this information at hand and in the case of a flight deck crew has to exclude the most debilitating condition that could affect the ability to fly....and believe me renal colic IS TOTALLY DEBILITATING, you are as useless as an FO with no stripes

The good news is that the vast majority of Haematuria cases are self limiting within a short period of time (days)
