What Could Dirt In Urine While Having Dimentia And Prostate Problems Mean?
Hello. My father is 70 and suffers with dementia. It's been progressive,; he also has prostate problems, takes very little solid food, and is fed mainly by a peg. My mother said that they noticed "dirt" in his urine. He's very weak and is having diarrhoea for the past 2 weeks. Any idea of what the particles in the urine may be a sign of? Thanks very much.

Hi,
It can be albumin clots - he may be suffering from urinary tract infection. Doing a urine culture can help diagnose it.
