Hello : I had a bad UTI last month with blood in urine - pain etc . Was prescribed antibiotic and it seemed to get better. Went to PCP last week who ordered urinalysis which shows WBC 6-10 range ( normal 1-5) RBC 0-2 range ( normal says 0-2 ) and mucus present. These results were online .

Got call today that dr wants me to see urologist for blood in urine ? Wouldnt that make my RBC elevated ? I thought I still had UTI ?

Anyone ever had these symptoms ?

Thank you for helping me !

    Hi Anne,

    The results from your blood test, including your rbc count is from your serum (Blood). I'm guessing the doctor is concerned because the high rbc in your urine may indicate kidney infection or other organs involving filtration of blood. If your kidney or spleen can't filtrate blood, It will show an increase in your urine test. I hope this helps~
