What Does This Urine Test Result With History Of Kidney Stones Indicate?

My urine test shows rbc 4-10 and trace bacteria. My wife has had three uti s in last month and we have been intimate. I also have an infrequent history of kidney stones. Am scheduled for kidney ultrasound and a bladder scope procedure. Of course I do not want to do the scope if I can avoid it. What are thoughts?
