A member asked:
Is regular rbc 1 p/micro l in several urinalyses sign of microhematuria in a hdn patient who once had gross hematuria some days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A few red cells are normal. Keep looking for the explanation for the previous episode. Sometimes "gross hematuria" isn't hematuria at all -- it can be anything from myoglobinuria to someone who doesn't metabolize the red pigment in beets in the diet.
