What Does Blood In Urine Indicate While On Antibiotic Medication?
my husbands WBC in his urine was at 164 as well as RBC at 28. Given an antiboitic. He has a catheter which was replaced before they took the urine sample. He also have a 1+ for urine blood. Today his urine is very dark, almost purple. We are trying to get him to drink lots of water. He doesn’t want to go back to the hospital but I am very worried.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Continue antibiotics and plenty of oral liquids. He will be fine. Kindly give course of UTI. these RBC in the urine is due to infection which leads to allow filtration of RBC.
