A member asked:
I had a ua with mirco today. rbc came back abn and so did blood. result on blood is *trace-intact. rbc says *3-7. just wondered what it means?

Borderline result: This suggests that you have a trace or very little hemoglobin (blood) which may be derived from 3-7 red blood cells. This is very little or insignificant unless you have symptoms to match it. Blood in urine or hematuria can be due to kidney disease, ulcers, stones or tumors along the urinary tract. If you have a reason to suspect disease, consult a urologist

Probably nothing: This is a scant amount of blood and is probably a false positive test. If you have no urinary symptoms (burning, frequency, hesitancy, or pain on urination) I would repeat in a couple of weeks. I assume you have stopped menstruating.
