Brief Answer:
This could be UTI secondary to Enlarged Prostate.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query. Presence of Leucocytes and blood in urine suggest UTI .You have not mentioned about whether you have other urinary symptoms like frequency, urgency etc .
Considering your age to be 61 this UTI could be secondary to Enlarged Prostate which is common at this age and needs to be investigated.
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital Rectal examinations and get following tests done to establish diagnosis.
1) Urine culture
2) Kidney function tests
3) Ultrasound Scanning Of Abdomen and Pelvis .
4) Blood test for Serum PSA.
Further treatment will depend upon the final diagnosis. In the meantime start taking antibiotics like Cefotaxime and Nitrofurantoin twice daily .
Do write if you have any more questions I shall be happy to address your concern
Thanks and Regards
