Hi Weazle

Blood in your urine usually indicates an infection and the orange coloured urine is due to you not having drunk enough water. The darker the colour the more dehydrated you are.

Are your urine samples being sent away for testing? Or does your GP/nurse simply test it with the dipstick? Dipsticks are so very unreliable. I speak from experience because I had urine infection after urine infection from January to July this year. Testing with the dipstick revealed nothing whereas there was always an infection following the sample being fully tested in the hospital labs.

Good luck with your CT scan
