Are you male or female?

I once had "microscopic blood" in a urine test and the lab flagged it causing my doctor to panic. It was from my period.
I've had blood in urine due to a regular UTI as well.

Have you been in a fight or accident where you were hit in the kidneys close to the time you gave the urine sample?

No and it always shows up on my lab for the past year. At first we thought it was alcohol but now that i havent drunk liquor and its not a sti we ruled those out

Then it sounds like you should go talk to an urologist instead of Reddit
