Broken red cells: Urine dip stick will give positive result if there is hemoglobin from broken red cells. In such a case no red cells may be seen on microscopic examination, but the importance is the same. Talk to the doctor who ordered the test as s/he knows more about your health and the reason for doing the test. Get HPV vaccine Wish you good health!
