Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My father (93 years) has blood in the urine. What can this lead to? He was in the hospital for a light stroke January 16 2015, and it led to 4 days in the hospital and a week in rehab. They gave him lipitor, which we took him off of. Then, tried to thin the blood with Zarelto, but that made him bleed more, ( I believe). They put him on 325 aspirin instead of the zarelto. He is on a heart medication which controls the Atriel Fibulation. The doctor put him on antibiotics, and we go in to take a urine test tomorrow to see if there is an infection. The blood in the urine has been present since about the 21st of January and now it is almost 2 months. I am concerned. What can this lead to?
