A member asked:
Blood in urine but no rbc. what is the problem then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: A positive result means simply a color change due to oxidation of a test-strip reagent and it does not confirm that blood cells are present. Ther are many Factors that can cause a false-positive result on a dipstick test including hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria, concentrated urine, menstrual blood in the urine sample, and rigorous exercise.
