Brief Answer: Could be UTI secondary to Enlarged Prostate. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have marginally raised Blood Urea with presence of pus cells detected on routine urine examination. . I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem. 1) Do you have any other Urinary symptoms like frequency of urination ,urgency,nocturia ,poor stream etc ? 2) Have you ever done Ultrasound scanning of abdomen to rule out enlarged prostate?and serum PSA? Considering your age of 75 years your symptoms could be due to Benign enlargement of prostate. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get above investigations done under his guidance. In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexine along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. As regards raised blood urea ,it is likely to be due to UTI .and will come down once infection is controlled. Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.
