My grandmother urine test showed positive occult blood. Our doctor prescribed Cital, and she has been taking it for 12 days. However, in the last 2 days, she has developed swelling in her feet and face. Could you please confirm if Cital is the right medication for her condition?

Occult blood may indicate a urinary issue or infection. Swelling in the face and feet could suggest a kidney or heart related side effect. Please consult her physician immediately.

What is a GGT blood test done for?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine report shows blood present 1 plus, leukocytes about 15, and red blood cells 8 to 10. I usually run daily and three days ago I felt pain in my lower right back while running but I continued. Since then I have been facing lower back pain and I need to force myself to urinate. The pain in the lower right back has not stopped and I still feel difficulty while passing urine.
