Can fever cause occult blood in the urine?



Fever may cause occult blood in the urine.

If the fever is caused by an upper respiratory tract infection, it usually does not cause occult blood in the urine. However, it does not exclude the possibility of fever caused by other diseases, such as urinary stones, urinary tract infection, nephritis, and lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, in situ hepatocellular carcinoma, etc., and occult blood in urine can be found when doing routine urine examination. Therefore, whether fever can cause urinary occult blood depends on the cause of fever.

If patients with fever have occult blood in urine, it is recommended to take treatment under doctor’s guidance. During the treatment period, pay attention to drink more water, which can accelerate the body metabolism, and eat a lighter diet, which will help the recovery of the condition.
