Frequent urination and Anemia

by Christinak74, Oct 06, 2009 07:57PM
Hi All
I am a 34 year old female.
I have only one kidney, I was only born with the one and it has never caused any issues.
I have for the last few months been having issues with waking 2 times a night to urinate.
The last couple of weeks I have also developed frequent urination during the day ( every 1-2 hours)
In total I am urinating at least 10 times a day.
I recently had my physical and was advised my urine tests came back with no signs of bladder infection. The only issues with my blood were low iron and vitamin B-12. Kidney function tests were fine.
The dr prescribed antibiotics although 2 rounds of urine tests showed no signs of infection.
There is no urine in the blood.
Anyone have a simliar situation or any advice?

Hi,
I’ll suggest getting your blood sugar checked to rule out diabetes mellitus. You need to correct your anemia also by taking both iron as well B12 supplements. A urine specific gravity also needs to be checked. Dilute urine means the concentrating capacity of kidneys is markedly decreased which can happen in a disease called diabetes inspidus. Please do consult an endocrinologist to rule out these entities. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
