A couple of weeks back, I got home from work, went to the bathroom and had urines so red it looked like a trafic light. Simce then on and off traces of blood has shown.

So far blood tests, Ultra Sounds and a CAT Scan have shown no reason. Thursday I get the dreaded camera inserted (just thinking about it makes tears run).

However, this has had a funnyside to it. At the ER the first night, they wanted a sample, which of course was pink in colour. 15 minutes later the ER Doctor came back and I quote "Well your sample showed traces of blood in it". I looked at her and then just could not help myslef - "Gee, you think?? Why the @#$$%%^&& do you think I'm in here?" My ex (we still friends) slide down the rooms wall with laughter.

I had a similar experience only it was with our uroligist. Needless to say , I turned around and walked out of his office and went to one in another town 26 miles away.

Any abdominal discomfort? Sensation that you still have to urinate even though you just did a minute ago?

If so, possible kidney stones.

I had this problem about 2 years ago. In my case it was too much potassium. I had taken too many potassium tablets. Hope your problem is solved as easy as mine was.

Simon, my wife says and she worked in a horsepital for yrs that they want to make double sure of what they saw or didn't see. My father in-law had a blockage that they removed on the second trip in.
