General & Family Physician, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali's Response

Hi,

Yes, Xarelto can cause blood in the urine. Anti-clotting medications ('blood thinners') like Xarelto prolong the time it takes to form a blood clot hence blood can appear in the urine. This problem can be minimized by reducing the dose of Xarelto or temporarily stopping the medication. However, it can also be due to some other underlying issue, such as kidney stones, infection, or bladder cancer. So, I advise you to consult your treating doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
