Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. In her recent urinalysis, there were red blood cells, with a count of + - 25 cells/uL, and urobilinogen at + - 16 umol/L, with a pH of 5.5. The rest of the results did not have numerical values. In her urinalysis from April 2005, BLD was + - 0.3 mg/L, and URO was + - 3.38 &mol/L. Could you please explain what this means? She has no discomfort, and I am wondering if these results will affect her health.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is unclear whether it is a microscopic examination or a blood test. If it is a blood test, it cannot be considered a pathological condition. A positive result for blood in the urine only indicates the presence of red blood cell components in the urine. In normal human bodies, red blood cells are constantly broken down, and their components are excreted through the urine. Therefore, it is normal for the urine of healthy individuals to show a positive result for blood. Weakly positive or positive results have no significant clinical value.
