Question

Why do premature babies have blood in their urine?

Answer

Blood in urine can be due to physiological factors, such as excessive sweating or dehydration leading to concentrated urine; it may also be a result of pathological factors, such as jaundice caused by hepatitis. It is necessary to identify the specific cause in order to determine if treatment is needed. Based on the described situation, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention for examination and surgical treatment. After surgery, it is important to administer a large amount of intravenous antibiotics and pay attention to diet, consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as chili and garlic.
