How long does the high white cells in the urine last with IC?
HEllo was wondering how long the high white count in the urine lasts. My Mom who is elderly has high white cell count in urine. Urine very cloudy and at times looks like milk. Also has recently tested positive for lactobacillus. Is this a common occurance in IC?
thanks
Hi Derrick,
I always have a very high amount of white blood cells in my urine but there is never any infection showing in the culture.
I have had blood tests but all seem to be normal. I also had a cysto but they couldnt see anything in my bladder either. However the hospital decided that I must have IC. I have now been transferred to a London hospital who seem to think the same. However when I take antibiotics all the symptoms of IC plus pain go away completely. It is all very strange.
