Hello,

The 8-10 red blood cells are not normal. It is called hematuria condition. Additionally, there is the presence of uric acid crystal.

So there is a chance of presence of urate Stone in the urinary tract causing urinary tract infection.

I suggest you investigate further with blood uric acid estimation, USG scan abdomen and pelvis with special emphasis on kidney and ureter.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
