Fellow walks in, c/o blood in urine since this AM with suprapubic discomfort but not pain. VS WNL, denies all in medical hx. Denies N/V or anorexia. A little pale, not icteric, so I got a witnessed urine and did a ten panel dip.
Looks like rootbeer without foam. Dip reveals instananeous maxed blood, ketones, and protein. Negative bilirubin, negative sugar. pH maxed high. I didn't have a microscope but spun the specimen in a redtop tube and got a glaucous little sediment in one corner (so the blood was haemolyzed not whole). Instant admission to medical housing and will be in a hospital before tonight.
Any guesses what is going on before I find out tomorrow...or later?
