Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My mother got blood in her urine. We did admit her to a nearby hospital and did all her checkups. Please check the report and let me know what is wrong.

Answered by Dr. Utkarsh Sharma

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern. I have seen the attached urine examination report (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Yes, there is blood in urine and protein and pus cells, and these findings are abnormal. I would like to tell you that there are various causes of such findings in the urine examination reports. It could be a kidney stone or an upper urinary tract infection, or a more serious cause. However, we require more investigations, like an ultrasound of the pelvis and a clinical examination, to arrive at a definite diagnosis. In addition, we need to know about the associated conditions like fever, the recent loss of weight, if any, night sweats, and anemia. I suggest you keep in touch with the clinician at the hospital to which your mother is admitted. Hope this helps. Thanks and take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
