Is Noticeable Sediment In My Urine When Diagnosed With Anemia A Concern?

default
Posted on Thu, 11 Feb 2021
Question: I have been having some sediment in my urine since last week. Sometimes, it is barely visible, while other times, it is very obviously there. When I first noticed it, I had a little (not much) pain in my bladder. That has gone away, but the sediment remains. I took an at-home UTI test to see if it was a UTI, but it came back negative. However, I take 1000 mg of vitamin C every morning (doctor's orders; I have iron deficiency, so I take it with iron), so I don't know if the results are valid. I know I ought to go to the doctor, but I can't stop taking the vitamin C because I'm so extremely iron deficient. If I don't stop taking the vitamin C, though, I figure the doctor can't do anything. What should I do?
