Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a clinical case of asymptomatic microhematuria due to suspicion of kidney trauma following a motor vehicle accident. Methods: A 19-year-old male was hospitalized with the chief complaint of back pain after a motor vehicle accident. He showed an elevated urine red blood cell (RBC) level in the laboratory test, although no specific traumatic lesions were present on the body. He was assessed to have asymptomatic microhematuria, and Zhu Ling Tang (polyporus decoction) was given to him to be taken three times daily. Results: After the treatment, the level of urine red blood cells returned to normal range. Adverse events were not observed. Conclusions: Zhu Ling Tang caused a short-term improvement in the urinalysis levels of a patient with asymptomatic hematuria. However, further studies are needed, as this study is only a single-case report.
