Hi Santos,
Thanks for writing your query.
RBC are red blood cells which may be normally present in urine sample during mensturation perids in females. You can repeat your sample after few days if you are mensturating.
Mucus threads may be normally present in the urine.
Presence of bacteria along with WBC, albumin, RBC and mucus threads indicates towards infection in the urinary tract.
It is advisable that you should get Culture/Senstivity of your urine sample done .
You should drink lot of pure water as this will help in curing mild infections of the urinary tract.
Also get yourself examined by a physician.
Treatment can be planned according to the culture/senstivity reports of the urine.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
