Hi! I’ve only taken about one health related course in university, so breaking down my lab results showing trace blood in the urine was a bit daunting for me 😅. It’s been a week or so for my PCP to get back to me on the results, so this has helped me a lot! Thanks for the breakdown :)

Hi, great vid, had a UTI that cleared but still find a +(1) blood in urinalysis..a urine culture with no growth (bacteria,parasites,negative) .no symptoms,have had sti screening,high viginal swab plus a Pap,all have turned negative... what could be the issue?

[@RealWorldNP]

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏 very clear 👏👏👏👏👏

[@RealWorldNP]

Thank you! 😃

[@jasminevaughn5214]

What does 1 plus mean?

[@RealWorldNP]

This is how the presence of blood will be reported by the lab.

[@jasminevaughn5214]

@@RealWorldNP is this always bad if it happened

[@lightworker44444]

Can you explain + vs ++ etc?

[@RealWorldNP]

Overall it correlates with the amount of blood present in the sample but it's dependent on a few factors! Tricky to answer in the comments here, but we definitely go into depth with interpretation inside the Lab Crash Course if that's something you'd like support with! www.realworldnp.com/labs

[@Strawberryandkiwigaming]

Why would a dipstick always be positive for microscopic blood, but went send out for analysis for presence of blood under microscope it’s always negative?

[@RealWorldNP]

There could be MANY causes but should definitely be investigated. As a provider you should determine if additional work up or specialist referral is needed to determine the cause.

[@AkratiGupta-fz1sz]

What about varicocele?

[@RealWorldNP]

You know I haven't seen that myself and I don't see anything on my resources that suggest that varicocele can cause hematuria. That would be something to look into futher!

[@nicholegraeber2590]

Thank you

[@RealWorldNP]

You're welcome!

[@survivalhealthandhealingtv5651]

GREAT VIDEO! THE TEST STRIPS CAN BE WRONG! AND MANY DOCTORS DO NOT SEND THEM OUT BUT START TREATING YOU WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE REAL LABS REVEAL!

[@RealWorldNP]

Yep, send those out!

[@kingsleyagberigba1030]

You are Right

[@amora5085]

What would neurological causes be?

[@RealWorldNP]

No neurological causes that I'm familiar with - typically renal, urologic, or "mimics" from structures in the area (perineum, anus, etc) or medications/foods/false +

[@johnasomers448]

NP here, working in Urology, unclear why you make the distinction of Urological parts vs Kidney/Nephrology? Better to just describe as upper vs lower GU tract. But the terminology of "Urological" structure is misleading, the kidneys are Urological by definition.

[@RealWorldNP]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@dianerodriguez6546]

I think she was describing Nephrology and Urology to hint or give guidance to what service to refer the patient to depending on what the labs show and what symptoms the patient has. I understand that kidney is part of the the urological system and some may get confused but I totally understood what she was saying.
