I had haematuria last year and at the same time this year too(August 30th). Got a culture done which showed the presence of bacteria. Had no other symptom. USG showed extra renal pelvis with decreased CMD. Took nitrofurantoin for 21days, repeated the culture which showed no bacteria. I have been asked to repeat my tests every 3months as it has chances of occuring again.

Extra renal pelvis is a structural abnormality .. any structural abnormality is risk factor for recurrent urinary tract infections .. urine culture is warranted if u experience symptoms .. otherwise be vigilant .. get annual checkups like ultrasound , serum creatinine
