What Causes Blood In Urine After Smoking Crystal Methamphetamine?

blood in urine is not related to methamphetamine
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Methamphetamine is a CNS stimulant. It does not cause blood in urine. It is related to rhabdomyolysis in which the urine color can become dark. Blood in urine (hematuria) needs further evaluation before any sort of treatment plan is initiated. The most common cause of blood in urine is a urinary tract infection. Stones and malignancies can also present as such. A urine routine examination should be advised , if there is ample evidence of an infection then antibiotics can be prescribed empirically and later tailored as per the results of the culture sensitivity testing. Most likely the blood in urine will subside if infection is the cause. If it persists then further workup including CBC, ultrasound abdomen pelvis, CT KUB, Renal function tests and cystoscopy can be advised to look for other causes , in consult with your doctor.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
