A member asked:

What does it mean if a urine sample shows nitrates, blood and protein in it, but no infection? i am 49 and haven't had a period in 4 months

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI: Having positive nitrites is usually associated with uti. If you had cultures done, they could be influenced if you were on antibiotics. Most docs would have treated you based on the dipstick alone.
