Hello doctor, My specific gravity of urine last four reprts shows acidic with 1.25 and I have 8 to 10 pus cells in this report of 20/12/12. I am a rheumatoid arthritis patient. Does this suggest any kidney problem . I take hcqs 200 mg and methotextrate 28 units injectable. Thank you.
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety. To assess kidney function,blood tests called urea and creatinine are to be done. Your urine test report suggests,there may be an UTI(urinary infection). To confirm it, an urine culture should be done. You should do an ultrasound scan-KUB,with residual urine. If you've any doubts,you may send the reports to me,as a direct question. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
