What are the reasons for occult blood in a child's urine test?

Patient's question:

Son is four years old, the urine test is normal except for the occult blood which is + -10. What does this mean?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, a negative result for occult blood in a child's urinalysis means there may be blood in the urine. Advice: It is recommended that you clean your child's penis thoroughly and have a re-examination. Sometimes, the result may be due to a test error. If the occult blood is still positive upon re-examination, then there may be a potential kidney issue.
