Would you go to A and E with this? (picture included)

[BalaRua]

DH was weeing red yesterday and this is his wee this morning. He has a cold and has been taking lemsip. He's definitely had a temperature although no thermometer to check. Would this warrant a and e given the day/date? Thanks

Did you get anywhere?

He is off up to the doctors for 3 hoping they don't fob him off.

Good. Thanks for up-dating.
If you get a chance, let us know the outcome.

Hope the doctors were helpful x

Any news?

How did it go? I really hope he gets to the bottom of it: I reckon I'd be pretty concerned with wee like that, even if A and E had given the all clear...

What did the doctor say OP?

Hope the appointment went alright OP.

Hope they are able to pinpoint what's going on.

By news OP?

No update? really hope he's ok.

Hope your dh is ok op

Oh I so hope no news is good news on this thread. Thinking of you and dh op.

I've been following this post since you started it. Just popped by to see what today's news was. I hope your DH is ok.

How did your dh get on at the doctor BalaRua?

Thinking of you OP

Oh dear OP I hope everything is alright with your DH. This is the first thing I thought of this morning. It must be strange knowing that loads of mumsnetters are thinking of you & wish you well.

Hope he's ok.

Thanks for asking. For whatever reason A and E had told us his bloods and urine micro were fine, but there's some signs of inflammation in his bloods and one of the kidney markers is off, as well as high white cells, epithelial cells, blood and protein there in his urine. No growth on the urine culture however. GP faxed across an urgent referral for urology and has given him antibiotics for UTI treatment even though there's no culture growth.

Here's what worries me. Two years ago when I was pg, I started with high bp and protein in urine so I bought dipsticks to keep an eye on it. He did a dipstick back then and had protein and blood in the urine but decided the sticks 'didn't work' and wouldn't go to the doctors. so my worry now is that it's something chronic like CKD.

He's so stick thin and has such a limited diet that I'm afraid any illness will knock him sideways.

I hope they are quick with the referral OP

Thank you for updating us OP, I hope you get to the bottom of things quickly.

I hope the referral comes through quickly. Maybe he's had a low level infection rumbling on for a while and the abx will help.

Does he have other health issues which limit his diet and weight?

He has IBS (though he doesn't really believe in this as a diagnosis, but that's another story..). He follows a low FODMAP diet to combat his horrible symptoms (lots of pain and diarrhoea), as well as being completely wheat and dairy free. He has several family members diagnosed coeliac but refuses to eat wheat as per guidelines for the coeliac blood test which is fair enough I think. He has always been slim but absolutely cannot maintain a healthy weight. He is 6 foot tall and not quite 10 stone which puts him right on the cusp of underweight. (He's absolutely stunningly good looking even so slim, if I do say so myself. Like a supermodel )
