Patient's question:
These days, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, sometimes even finding it difficult to urinate. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a urinary tract infection. He suggested I get a blood test. I'd like to ask for some advice: Is a blood test abnormal during a urinary tract infection? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, urinary tract infection is a condition where bacteria enter the urethra, causing cystitis or pyelonephritis, which can lead to changes in blood tests. Therefore, you should follow the doctor's advice and understand the detailed tests of blood and urine to better guide treatment. Moreover, if urinary tract infections are not treated thoroughly, they are prone to recur. Therefore, it is recommended that you take medication according to the doctor's instructions for the prescribed course and absolutely avoid increasing the dosage or stopping the medication on your own.
