Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Cant stop peeing blood! Help!Hi everyone! Please let me know if theres any other/better places to ask this but I didnt know where else to go. I am going through hell and feel so embarrassed talking about my bloody pee online but I have gotten blown off more times than I can count. I am 22F 59 with no prior history of UTIs and I have been peeing blood for TWO WEEKS with extreme pain! It started out full and just generally lower abdominal pain, but now Im starting to feel occasional sharp stabbing pain in my side/back which is making me think its my kidneys. Heres a timeline of how all of this has gone:1/2/22- notice blood on the tissue when I wipe for the first time, freak out, schedule an appointment with my GP1/3/22- I go to my doctors appointment, she tests my urine and finds high white blood cell count (infection) prescribes me 5 days of macrobid1/6/22- bleeding gets heavier and abdominal pain gets worse1/8/22- finished my antibiotics, still extremely ill, more pain more blood, I start running a low grade fever and throw up1/10/22- I go to an urgent care, blood found in urine but no signs of infection, gave me a shot of ciprofloxacin and sent pill form home with me, told me if it gets worse to go the emergency room1/12/22- after never noticing a difference in pain or blood I go to the emergency room. They test my blood multiple times, take urine sample, and do a CT scan. My blood work shows elevated white blood cells and elevated high lactic acid levels. They send me in for a CT scan (no contrast) and dont see anything. I get sent home because nothing is in my CT scan and get told if the pain gets worse come backI am in a lot of pain and I dont know what to do. I am STILL peeing blood and having awful pain. I have a urology appointment tomorrow but I dont know if I should wait or go back to the emergency room. My back keeps having these painful twitches and I cant stop shaking. The nurse who discharged me said she thinks its interstitial cystitis and it is an infection that is curable that you treat with antibiotics. I looked it up and thats flat out not true. Other nurses had said all night it seemed like I had a kidney infection, and thats honestly what it feels like. What should I do?. ### Response: If they did basic blood work, urine tests, and you haven't had true fever, then you probably don't have a kidney infection.Did you original urine sample ever grow anything in the culture?Do you urine results show blood +? Do they say if they specifically see RBCs or not?Edit: include the actual lab info if you have it availableIt kind of upsets me that the CT A/P was done non con. I guess maybe they were looking for stones... But still. You cannot reliably comment on pyelonephritis on a non con CT.I'm sure they were hunting for stones. Shouldn't really need CT imaging to make pyelonephritis diagnosis.Posts by unflaired users that claim or strongly imply legitimacy by virtue of professional medical experience are not allowed.
