Can Non Bacterial Cystitis Lead To Acute Renal Failure?
Question: Can Non Bacterial Cystitis lead to acute renal failure?
Brief Answer:
not unless there is cystopathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Non bacterial cystitis may not lead to renal failure. In case the cause for cystitis if leads to cystopathy and urinary retention, there may be chances of hydronephrosis and subsequent chronic renal failure but not acute.
I would be more specific if you can share the reports or let me know the cause of cystitis.

Brief Answer:
there are chances if renal failure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
When urine has leukocytes and culture grow negative , it will be dealt formally as non bacterial. In real, there may be bacteria which we are unable to culture, presence of atypical bacteria or even other microorganisms. Yes, it is infective and can lead to nephritis and renal failure.

Did you review the " Oct 18, 2018.JPG " screenshot I shared with you?
My grandmother's doctors would do a urinalysis, culture comes back negative and they would treat her as if she was imagining the pain and all the other symptoms. As far as I know, dating all the way back to 2009.
My grandmother's doctors would do a urinalysis, culture comes back negative and they would treat her as if she was imagining the pain and all the other symptoms. As far as I know, dating all the way back to 2009.
She has been in the hospital since Oct 18. Hospital says it is acute congestive heart failure and acute kidney failure. I say they are wrong because she has this history of Non-bacterial cystitis which is not on her record anywhere because they never came to that conclusion, though they should have. Literally, for a decade she has been talking about, what she thought were UTI'S. She would come back from the doctor and tell me that there is nothing wrong. The symptoms were always there, elevated WBC, and now elevated RBC. The doctor today told me that RBC 50-80 is nothing alarming. Would you agree with that?
When I said they are wrong in my opinion. What I mean is that I don't believe it's acute. It's chronic.
Brief Answer:
its serious
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
RBC 50 - 80 is serious, one cannot conclude it as nothing.
Elevated WBC and RBC does for sure indicate serious inflammation. It is chronic and needs a better evaluation. A cystoscopy would throw some light in I believe.

Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, Pradaxa can result in rbc leak into the urine. There are pretty good chances where it can lead to wbc leak into the bladder too.
You should have brought the name of this med at first. I would consider this being the first probable cause.

yes

Brief Answer:
Its a comparative study

Hi,
Its a comparative study . Not a study on cause effect of the drug itself. when considered alone then risk seems very less.
