Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Blood in urine due to catheterization is commonly due to trauma only.
2. At this time, another possibility is urinary tract infection. Get an urine examination microscopy for bacteria and also a culture done. If culture is positive, then treatment is necessary.
3. He needs to treated early for trauma or infection as it could turn critical with all his prevailing conditions.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
