So blood tests have come back as above and I have a feeling this has been going on for some time, but not actually had a urine sample test in the past few years.
In fact the only urine test was because of discharge from vagina, thought to be thrush which is now being treated.
So thrush can cause blood in urine as well I understand. talk about going round in circles. !!!
as follows.
no infection red cells present, repeat urine dip in 2 weeks.
then follows, more worryingly
Red blood cells present in urine. Please follow NICE guidelines (NG12) to investigate .
Is this not fast track for cancer ?
routine culture is no longer performed if the WBC count is less than 50/mm3. UTI in adults is very unlikely below this count.
Thats all a bit like double dutch to me, but the NICE and NG12 is WORRYING me .
Recent blood tests have sometimes shown white blood cell count high and red blood cells, but if this is associated to steroids, and it seems it might be, why are the alarm bells ringing again. ?
