hi! there are some materials in your urine sample which interfere with microscopical studies so that the exact number of other components is not ascertained!
these could be some organic or inorganic solutions not dissolved fully in the urine.
however, presence of RBC in urine is not good; so kindly consult some urologist.
all the best............
