Does Blood In Urine Indicate Infection?
Question: my son, 18 years old, had passed blood in his urine, urine reports indicate presence of albumin, pus cell -15-20hpf, epth cell - 1-2 , specific gravity - 7 and ph - 7. what does this mean?
Brief Answer:
likely to be suffering from UTI
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
After seeing the urine report I conclude that he is suffering from Urinary tract infection(UTI) , which is mainly indicated by more number of pus cells. For this he needs to be started on antibiotics and later changed according to culture report.
Passing blood likely goes in favor of either urethritis or stones in urinary tract leading to UTI . If abdominal pain is not there that rules out stone. Urethritis mainly have burning sensation while passing urine.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
