Abnormal urine test results - panic
Had a urine test earlier for penile pain, test came back negative for bacteria but did show abnormalities.
The abnormal ones are:
BIL - Small
KET - Trace
PRO - Trace
She said the Ketones and the Protein are not that bad but there shouldnt be bile in my urine, of course im totally panicking now.
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
ok so what are they doing about it?
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
The nurse wanted me to see a doc about it but it just has my mind going around in circles :(
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
did the nurse not give you any advice/treatment?
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
She said the ketones and protein can be explained by not eating enough and are nothing to worry about, but the bile is something she couldnt explain and said isnt normal. Of course I did the wrong thing and googled, I wouldnt mind that much if it was something small but all I could find is things like liver disease and hep.
Its annoying, I dont drink and dont do drugs and drink plenty of water.

I would make an app. to see a doc as soon as possible :) mean while try not to worry. :D
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
It is unusual to find bile in urine BUT it can be from benign and easy to treat sources - not necessarily something dreadful!
You do need to consult your GP about it and get further investigations. What led you to have your urine tested in the first place? Have you ever had problems with your gall bladder?
Good luck:hugs:

Thanks for the replies.
I went to the walk in centre as I had pain in my penis for a few days, thought possibly UTI.
They said no to bacteria but yes to the others.
I have a theory, after researching it seems that Ketones and Protein in urine can be caused by anorexia and starvation mode, I have also found that increased bilirubin can also be caused by this - sort of makes sense to me but idk.
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
still panicking, wish i had never had the test done.
Re: Abnormal urine test results - panic
Piers - try and calm down ok.
There is nothing you can do until you see the doc next week and nothing drastic will happen in that time.
I am sure it is nothing serious and will be sorted. Where is your fiancee is she with you?
