In my urine test, they found RBC 2530 hpf and Ive been having a really high fever ranging from 102 to 103.4 along with a terrible headache at the back of my head. Do you think the fever is causing the RBC in the urine or is it the other way around? Ive already seen two doctors. One asked for all blood and urine tests and the other suggested another urine test. Im currently taking Switch 200, Aceclofenac, and Paracitamol Alock P as prescribed, but Im still waiting for the results of the second urine test because of the holidays. Its been 5 days now and the fever just keeps coming back as soon as the meds wear off. Even the Paracetamol isnt really helping with the headache. Ibugesic Plus helps a bit, but only for about 5 hours. Nothing seems to work, any thoughts on what could be happening here?
Could indicate a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney infection. The fever is likely not directly caused by the RBC in your urine, but rather both symptoms may be due to an underlying infection. Since your symptoms are persisting and the fever returns when the effect of the medicine wears off, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the current treatment is not providing adequate relief, your doctor may need to reassess your condition and consider adjusting your medication regimen or ordering additional tests. It is crucial to complete the prescribed course of antibiotics and continue taking the medications as directed until you receive further guidance from your healthcare provider. In the meantime, make sure to stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and monitor your symptoms closely. If your fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm 52 and I've been told I have diabetes with a creatinine level of 1.4. My urine creatinine is 15, which I understand is normal since it's below 30, and there are no proteins found. My HbA1c is 7.9. The Lifespan clinic suggested I see a kidney specialist because they believe my creatinine levels aren't related to my diabetes. Can you help me understand why my creatinine might be high if it's not due to diabetes?
With your medical history of diabetes, creatinine level of 1.4, urine creatinine of 15, and HbA1c of 7.9, it is important to follow up with a kidney specialist for further evaluation and management. It is crucial to address any potential kidney issues to prevent complications and maintain your overall health.
