A few weeks ago Jacob had what seemed to be a bladder infection. He called me from the bathroom crying saying that he was peeing blood. My first thought when I saw it was it must be the medication that was dying his urine, but then he told me it hurt a lot when he peed. So I looked it up and the medicine that he was on did not change the color of urine. So I called the doctor and they asked to see him right away.
A UA was done and he was put on antibiotics and the urine was sent to the lab because it tested positive for blood and protein. They wanted to know what bacteria was causing the infection so they could treat it more effectively.
They were concerned mostly because boys don't often get bladder infections.
He looked at his chart and there were some red flags. Jason's family has a rare genetic decease called Fabry's. hey wanted to know more about what was going on with him. They ordered blood work and another more advanced UA. We are still waiting to see what those test say. I will be sure to let you know how that goes. I hope it will come back soon.
