After taking antibiotics for 7 days and stopping Eliquis 2.5 mg 15 days ago, is it normal to still have a trace of blood and 2 to 4 red blood cells in my urine test?

Asked by Male, 37 · 6 days ago

Finding a trace of blood (2 to 4 red blood cells) is actually quite common after a recent urinary tract infection. Even though you finished your antibiotics and stopped Eliquis (apixaban) 15 days ago, the lining of your urinary tract can take some time to fully heal, occasionally leaving microscopic traces of blood behind. Since the apixaban is already out of your system, this is likely just residual inflammation from the infection. I recommend repeating the urine test in a few weeks to ensure it clears completely. Please follow up with your doctor to monitor your recovery.
