Hi Sue - I don't know if you'll have to stop the 6mp or not, but the medicinenet drug facts page for 6mp says to call your doc right away if you have blood in your urine.

Call or get in to see somebody Sue....This med can cause bleeding as well as kidney problems. The doctor needs to determine what is going on. Let us know how it goes.

Pain while you urine... With blood and Very little amounts... Most likely a UTI.
No pain, More than 30CC's of urine but with blood.. could be from Low platelets and your some sort of 6-mp contradiction.

Best thing to do is get a CBC and Differential (bloodwork)
and a urine Sample.

I hope all goes well.

Having blood in the urine is always a sign of something. I have had it so many times. Bladder infections, kidney stones (four of them) and urinary tract infections. Since I am aware of it, I drink lots of water and watered down cranberry juice with my probiotics.

Let us know what happens ok?
