Blood in my urine

[Wodney1966]

Had my yearly medical at work found blood in my urine could it be my warfarin I'm on ?????????😣😣😣😣😣

It would not be normal for it to do so. See your GP asap.

Could be but could be something else maybe urine infection. Did they do an INR? What did they suggest you do? See your GP at the very least sooner rather than later

Give me a letter to take to docs

[Hidden]

When will you see doc? Can you get hold of warfarin clinic for advice too?

I think it unlikely that it is warfarin. Any blood in urine MUST be investigated asap. as you may have a urinary infection.

I've had that with Apirin. Haven't taken anything like that have you?

No got a docs appointment this morn

Get it checked out. Good luck. It's always scary when our bodies do surprising things.  Thinking of you

Not warfarin, but just to raise awareness, my Dad has been on Rivaroxaban and experienced the same. They're going through tests, but stopping the drug stopped the problem and restarting it restarted it so it seems likely. When Mum reported it to the manufacturer they told her it was a known side-effect but doesn't affect many people.

There is something bleeding somewhere in your urinary tract. Warfarin would not cause this but might make the bleeding heavier as with any bleed. You need to see your GP and take a sample of urine with you. Make sure the container is sterile. Could be an infection or a polyp but could be more serious so get to Dr.

Been to docs they have took a water sample n checking my bloods on Wed so fingers crossed 😉😉😉😉😉

On follow up visits after an afib event, my internist always asks if I've had any bleeding. (I"m taking Warfarin.) What kind of bleeding, I asked, and he rattled off a number of things that might bleed due to warfarin, including blood in the urine.  Other bleeding included blood in stools, nose bleeds, excessive bleeding from cuts.  That's all I can recall. 

I have seen a cardiologist; soon to see a EP cardiologist.  I joined the afib club in January, 2016.

Warfarin does cause bleeding in the urine, as do other anti-co.ags. Does the urine sting when you pass water.  How often do you go to the toilet?  See your GP soon.

All of that happened to me,  you would know if it was an infection, it is extremely painful. I hope the cause will be found soon.
