Hello,
the most prominent abnormality is the presence of red blood cells in your urine. This means that there is a bleeding site somewhere in your genitourinary system.
You haven't mentioned your sex. Men after their sixties can sometimes have blood in the urine because of their prostate.
You haven't mentioned your symptoms either. If you had symptoms (for example flank pain) then this could be due to renal colic.
Blood in the urine warrants careful investigation for cancer unless a solid explanation can be given. Cancer is not the most common cause but is definitely the most serious one.
I suggest you contact an urologist, who will arrange the appropriate tests for you. The testing algorithm depends a lot on your symptoms.
So if you'd like a more specific and personalized answer, please report them to me. Why was the test done? Did you feel any pain? Do you have a medical history?
I hope I've shed some light to your situation!
Kind Regards!
