Hematuria: Dipsticks are for screening only. Urine should be checked under a microscope. Dipsticks can be fooled by other chemicals in urine. Myoglobin from muscles for example. Start with: http://www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com/hematuria/blood-in-urine/ and see: http://www.ccjm.org/index.php?id=107937&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=360521&cHash=ad5ede32b0cda8740c0d01689e044542 . See your doctor for a diagnosis.

Probably ok: Many women how persistent low-level hematuria. Of course, one cannot exclude an evolving/progressing condition when initially encountered. Persistent monitoring of urine dipstick is suggested, until satisfied that hematuria is a mild stable chronic finding..

Who tests?: Are you testing your own urine or is it done by a professional? Why? Hemolysed blood tests pos for hemoglobin but not for red cells. There are various ways this can happen. WHAT DOES YOUR DR SAY???
