warfarin blood in urine

My INR is almost always in the target range 2.0 to 3.0. I never see any blood in urine, or elsewhere. I think when I "nick" myself with a sharp implement, I bleed more than I used to, but never a problem stopping. I believe blood in the urine is one of the "no-no" symptoms and should be addressed. Maybe your doctor would agree to let you stop coumidin (replace with aspirin) for a few days and see what happens. It is possible aspirin may case problems by itself.

my mother underwent for the valve replacemet(mitral valve and tissue valve)before two years.suddenly she got blood clot in her leg.she ask to use warfarin to remove the blood clot.now she is getng back to normal.may i knw why was it happened suddenly and will it occur in fucture? will this lead to stroke? doctor saying cox of the heart rhythm problem. is that occuring cox of her valve?

Studies with radiolabeled drug have demonstrated that up to 92% of the orally administered dose is recov-ered in urine. Very little warfarin is excreted unchanged in urine. Urinary excretion is in the form of metabolites. " I think one of these types is the oral meds and the other is injectinon, but I'm not sure which is which. Perhaps Q will be by and can answer this one. Is you mom experiencing problems? If so, I would call her doctor and see if she needs medical help.

My husband has had blood in his urine for 7 months now, since January 2008 he has had catscans (3), ultrasounds (1), cystoscopys (6), etc. and they cannot find where this blood is coming from. He recently had a surgery to fix his varicolceles in both testicles.

After leaving hospital on 5th Jan with the doctors permission I was allowed to fly on 10th Jan to stay with my friend in Mallorca as long as I had my INR checked on 16th Jan My first visit to hospital in Spain was problematic because I had woken up that morning with bad cystitus and was peeing blood, when I told the Spanish doctor this he took me off the Warfarin and gave me 6 days of Clexane injections plus some antibiotics for the Cystitus.

Warfarin, in a short explanation, help to stop the formation of blood clots if i understand well, but what about the existing clots we might have already.

When I used to work in an ER, I could tell just by the blood when someone was on warfarin. It was sometimes as thin as cool aide. When they came in with nasty cuts, we'd try to stop the bleeding but sometimes they had to have it cauterized to stem the bleeding. LOL @ Jerry and the rat poison.

Coumadin/warfarin is notorious for the difficulty in keeping your levels in range. Coumadin is known for having many drug-drug and drug-food interactions, which can make you over or under coagulated. For instance, since it works by being a vitamin K antagonist, foods that contain vitamin K (like leafy greens) can lower your INR. Taking vitamin E or fish oil or aspirin could raise it, and make bleeding more likely.

This is more of a question about Warfarin, Plavix, blood thinning treatment ect... I was swimming yesterday with my kids and was rubbing my eyes a good bit. Afterwards my wife noticed my left eye was bleeding, not pouring blood but there is blood in the white part of my eye. Doesn't hurt or bother me it's just a nice size blood spot. I've been on Warfarin and Plavix and a daily baby aspirin for over 6 months to treat my heart disease.

I have been on 5 mg of Warfarin for about 10 years, and I get my blood tested about once a month. I manage to stay in range (INR 2 to 3) and so checking more often is not necessary. If you continue to have a need for a check every10 days it is reasonable that you look for some better approach. What caused your minor stroke? Do you have a heart rhythm problem and are you past middle age? My main reason for taking Warfarin is I suffer from AFib. And I am a senior age-wise.

The result of impurities in the blood vessels. The only way impurities can get into the blood stream is (1) by hypodermic injections and drugs, whether taken as medicine or otherwise; (2) by deposits in the blood stream of inorganic atoms accumulating from cooked and processed foods, particularly the concentrated starches and sugars; and (3) by retention of waste in the eliminative organs and channels.

The other morning my urine looked a little bloody. No other symptoms. My doctor wasn't available so I was seen by an FNP. She diagnosed a mild UTI and prescribed Cipro 250 mg 2x a day for five days. After taking the third tablet all hell broke loose: my vision got so blurred I couldn't see, I couldn't urinate for fifteen hours, and I had diarrhea for nine hours straight. I stopped taking the medicine(missed one dose so far).

Some surgeons request that a patient not be on plavix or warfarin at the time of surgery in order to minimize the risk of bleeding. Traditionally, the effects of plavix on platelets is minimal after 5 days. Usually, blood clots normally about three days after taking warfarin. This is quite variable and can be confirmed by a blood test (either checking INR or prothrombin time), prior to surgery.

Vitamin K is what causes your blood to clot. Therefore the warfarin cancels out some of the Vit. K to make your blood thinner. I have to have my Protime (PT) checked every couple of months to make sure my blood is not too thin or thick. Really no big deal. BTW, it doesn't lower blood count, just the ability to clot. As far as the calcium or Vitamin D I do not know of any effect on those vitamins from taking warfarin. I will also check with my pharmacist per Sassie's suggestion.

I have on many occassions stopped my warfarin for medical procedure reasons. I take only 5 mg a day. So, in my exlperience on can stop "cold turkey" without any problems other than an increased chance of blood clots and storke. I have several risk factors, oncluding permenant AFib, so I have no choice. I do not have many side effects from Warfarin, but I am on less than half the dose you are taking. Do discuss with your doctor at your earliest, surely within a week or two.

I have been taking Warfarin for about 2-1/2 years. I am 67 and have some issues with thinning hair, but believe it is genetic and from my hypothyroidism. I don't have any of the side effects you've mentioned, and as Jerry said, many of these symptoms can be age related. Xarelto is one of the newer blood thinners, but my ep told me there is no antidote to the newer drugs and should you need emergency surgery they could be a problem.

more bleeding than usual with your menstrual period or any other vaginal bleeding; blood in your urine (may be pink to dark brown); blood in your stool (black or tarry stool); unusual bruising (black-and-blue marks on your skin) for unknown reasons; fever, sickness, severe diarrhea or nausea, dizziness or confusion; rapid or unusual heartbeat, shortness of breath or chest pain; pain or swelling in any part of your leg or foot.

The treatment for clots in the ventricle is warfarin. The clots usually become firm and do not embolize with time. If it is still soft clot, the warfarin will help to slowly reduce the size of it. There isn't much else that needs to be done now. I understand your concern about stroke. The longer you go on warfarin, the less likely you are to have a stroke from that source.

My cardiologist would not let me stop warfarin even when in NSR. I had two period each about 1.5 years long when I was in NSR, but I always go back to AFib. Yes, I too would have preferred not to be on warfarin when in NSR...but my cardiologist was concerned that I might go into AFib while sleeping and go back into NSR when I wake up and not know that I was having periods of AFib. As said, I use warfarin, noting it too has risks and problems.

Warfarin works by reducing clotting agents present in the blood which means you are more prone to bleeding. You should watch for blood in your faeces and try not to bruise yourself too much. It is also a good idea to have regular blood tests for checking Liver function. Are you on Warfarin long term?

They test the blood but dont know what tests. They tell me my magnesium in blood is ok. Well it always is and blood doesnt show organ Mg levels. Now its too late ive had af for too long for it to reverse. My dr didnt know about the new anticoag pradaxa- dabigitran extelate being approved for af. I have lost confidence in my healthcare people. Its depressing.

The most common anticoagulation drug prescribed after heart valve surgery is warfarin (Coumadin). The newer blood thinners are apixaban and dabigatran, also known as Pradaxa and are expensive. The main concern is that specific antidotes for bleeding are available for warfarin but not yet developed for the new drugs. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
