What Do These Following Lab Reports Indicate?
Question: i got my blood test done as a routine check up before my travel. everything was normal, except a couple of items. i am unable to understand the abnormalities and its effect. could you please interpret this for me ?
Brief Answer:
RBC in urine
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
I have seen your reports. Your report is essentially normal. Just one thing that is RBC (blood) in urine. Since complete blood count is normal, it is not due to infection in urinary tract. It may be due to anatomical lesions in the urinary tract or kidneys like kidney stones, etc. Do you have any symptoms or medical history?
Please repeat the urine test.
In my opinion two more investigations may be required to find the cause. one is kidney function test (blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine) and ultrasound of kidney ureter bladder.
I would suggest that you consult a urologist or surgeon for further evaluation if the RBCs are positive in repeat urine test.
