What Does Elevated RBC Level In Blood Indicate?
Brief Answer:
It indicates some injury/infection or inflammation!
Detailed Answer:
Hi! thanks for your health query!
It is clear that your urine microscopic examination revealed 3-10 RBCs/hpf; it is definitely abnormal or high.
But I must comment that actually the range is so wide given 3 to 10...!and the test could be repeated from a different lab! Occult blood is also positive and all the features could be related to minor trauma/infection/crystals in your urinary tract like kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra. If you do not have any problem clinically, just take plenty of water and repeat the test after 2/3 days .
Feedback welcome; regards,
