What Does Blood In Urine Indicate While On Antibiotic Medication?
my husbands WBC in his urine was at 164 as well as RBC at 28. Given an antiboitic. He has a catheter which was replaced before they took the urine sample. He also have a 1+ for urine blood. Today his urine is very dark, almost purple. We are trying to get him to drink lots of water. He doesn’t want to go back to the hospital but I am very worried.
