A member asked:

One urinalysis showed rbc none seen and another one months later said 0-3 both normal why are they different?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Within normal limits: These are within normal limits because during activities, there is non-specific trauma on regular movements like walking and sitting and sometimes a red cell can even get filtered through the kidneys normally, so the urinalysis allows for this. That's one of the reasons why there are normal ranges.

Dr Keith and another doctor agreed

A member asked:

Had a urinalysis. All things negative, except leukocytes were +1 and it said "few"bacteria. For RBC, said none seen. For WBC, said was in range 0-5. My question is why didn't it say none seen. Since range was 0-5, I could have had 0. Thoughts?
