Hi,
Welcome to HCM
your child's urine sample is showing that there is no RBC in urine test. It is a good thing. it means that your child is not passing blood in the urine. )-2 RBH/high power field, means that if somebody's urine sample shows 2RBC in one high power field, we can consider that also as a normal. If more than 2/HPF, then it is not normal.
