hematuria and medical in middle east

[batman012]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about leaving europe for some jobs in the Middle East, I'm thinking about applying for Qatar, but I have one problem. Every year when I'm doing the medical I have been tested with microscopic hematuria/microscopic blood in urine. I have been sent to do some tests some years ago, and none of them showed anything. Therefor, my doctor has cleared me to fly and no further investigation is needed. I'm a bit concerned if the doctors down in the Middle East might operate with some other guidelines. Anyone one of you who fly in Qatar and have this condition, can tell me something about this?

Thank you!

There won't be any problem. You'll just need to conduct some tests every year. You need to show that your kidney function is normal and that you don't have a kidney stone. Once you get into your 50's everyone has some issue.
