Inconclusive: The blood in the microscopic blood in the urine could indicate an infection or other conditions involving the uro-gynocological system. Platelets are not checked for on urinalysis.

Hematuria is never: Normal. Can come from bladder infection, kidney infection or damage, kidney stone, bladder stone. Any burning/pain with urination? Do u have a history of urinary tract infections? Do u take any meds or supplements (other than the antibiotics}? Drink plenty of fluids—water, unsweetened cranberry juice. If no improvement in couple days or if getting worse, return to doc.
