Visited a urologist for a totaly unrelated issue, but he also found a small amount of blood in my urine. He gave me a "complete" exam (I hit a few high notes), tested my blood, sent me for a MRI to look at my kidneys, and today I experienced the joy of a cystoscopy (internal exam of the bladder).
His conclusion--my kidneys don't function at 100% separating blood from urine and it will be something to keep an eye on, but I have no sign of disease and he's not concerned about anything at this point.
My question is what, if anything, do I tell my AME at my next exam? Should I get some documentation from the urologist to take with me?
Sorry if I'm grossing anyone out.
