Never having purchased a pharmacy dipstick,I'm not sure of all the chemical reactions are on these strips. In the lab, the dipsticks show about ten tests, the ones involving stones or UTI be the ones showing blood or WBC's or bacteria. Here in US, positive dipstick tests for these components are than looked at microscopically by the urinalysis tech. Blood cell, both white and red would then be quantified, as crystals would be identified, and bacteria noted. Giving the Dr information about infection and or stones.

Once I was on pred I found it often happened after a day where I hadn't drunk as much as usual - eventually we came to the conclusion that I was excreting excess calcium in my urine and as it was concentrated because of low fluid intake it was forming grit and that irritated the bladder/urethra. When I consciously drink plenty when travelling I'm fine.
