Blood/protein/leukocytes in urine no infection
by Michael1962, Mar 04, 2009 05:13AM
I have had the above for about one month, but symptoms were occuring for about a month before testing. Several dip tests showed them, with no 'normal' tests inbetween.
I am awaiting a cystoscopy (3 weeks time) but am naturally worried, as I have excluded 'minor' causes that I am aware of, (2 samples showed no infection, it was treated blind with co-amoxiclav while awaiting 1st result, no strenuous exercise, am male, 47 years old) and all I seem to have left are more serious causes.
Symptoms are a continual lower abdominal discomfort (only minor pain and rare) upper abdominal distension which seems to worsen as the day progresses, and a lot of indigestion/heartburn. No pain or dscomfort from the penis on micturition. Frequency has increased, amount passing ranging from small to nromal. I have had some sharp but minor pains from what feels like my right kidney area, but not painful enough for my understanding of kidney stones etc.
I am a nurse, although knowledge in this are probably falls into 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' catagory, I mention this as I am aware I could be reading too much into things.
My main question therefore, while I realise cancer/kidney disease etc can't be excluded, is are there any less worrying causes that I haven't considered?
Thank you in advance for any replies,
Michael
