What Causes Blood In Urine?

I had a heart cath last thursday. I came home Monday not feeling to bad. Tues seemed a little worse, Thurs. I was in tears from pain in my lower right stomach that went around to my rt. lower back. I went to the Dr. and he ran a U.A. Which come back with a moderant amount of blood. He sent me to another E.R. to have a Ultra Sound done. I went to this other E.R. , they also took a urine sample and did a Cat Scan instead of a Ultra Sound, doped me up told me I had no blood in my urine. I felt fine the rest of that day, of course, I was doped up, I have been hurting really bad and have aother Dr. Apt. this Wed.

My question, I had no blood in my urine before the test, why should I have blood in urine after the test ? I am on blood thinners, have had a aorta valve replaement and have had a abdominal aortic anyerism in the past, and I had a total hysterectomy 27 yrs. ago.

Hello
Thanks for query.

Hematuria that you have could be due to Hemorrhagic Cystitis due to side effects of blood thinner that you are taking .

Consult your urologist again to rule out possibility of kidney stone.

Continue taking pain killers for couple of days Withheld blood thinners for couple of days.

Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute.
