Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Six red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) in urine indicate urethra, urinary bladder or kidneys.

One or two Red cells and less than 5 white cells can be considered normal. More than this cells indicate urinary tract infection.

Does she have symptoms like burning sensation while passing urine / fever / pain in abdomen?

Hope this answer your query. Let me know if you have other enquiries.
