Blood in urine, confused

Dear Dr. and member,

please help me out, I'm confused

What does it mean when on a urine analysis the result is like this.

Blood in urine =  trace
then there is the microscopic part after it:
Microscopic:     RBC = 0   WBC  =  0

Well dr. didn't give me anything to treat it and should I follow up on this???

Hello,
Blood in the urine can present in one of two ways: gross hematuria (blood that you can see in the urine), and microscopic hematuria (blood that is only seen when the urine is examined under a microscope). In your case microscopic hematuria is absent. It is gross hematuria. Causes can be divided according to the affected organ and they are Kidney conditions (infection, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease), Bladder conditions (cystitis, bladder polyp, bladder tumor), Urethral conditions (Sexually transmitted diseases, urethral injury, vaginal inflammation), and certain bleeding disorders.

Diagnostic tests that may be performed include Urinalysis, Urine culture, X-rays of the kidneys, Cystoscopy, IVP, Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

it means theres a little blood in your urine but the white blood count is 0 meaning you probably dont have an infection. but its worth finding out why there was blood in your urine in the first place.
