Reasons for high red blood cells in women's urine test

Busy work always makes people ignore some of their own health problems. With the frequent occurrence of gynecological diseases in modern society, many female friends are prone to gynecological diseases if they temporarily ignore their physical health. For example, high red blood cell count in women's urine test, what causes this phenomenon?

1. Physiological increase

Residents living in plateau areas tend to have higher red blood cells and hemoglobin than those living in plains areas. Drinking too little water or sweating too much can cause excessive water elimination, which can lead to temporary blood concentration and a slight increase in red blood cells and hemoglobin. In newborns, the height increase is physiological.

2. Pathological increase

(1) Severe vomiting, diarrhea, heavy sweating, patients with extensive burns, diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroid crisis, diabetic acidosis, etc., due to excessive loss of water in the plasma, the blood will be concentrated, and there will be a significant increase in the amount of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

(2) Chronic heart disease, cor pulmonale, cyanotic congenital heart disease, etc., due to tissue hypoxia, increase of erythropoietin in the blood leads to compensatory increase of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood.

(3) The patient does not have tissue hypoxia. This is because the bone marrow's function in producing red blood cells is enhanced. However, the increase in red blood cells is not needed by the body and has no compensatory significance, which can also cause an increase in red blood cells. It is more common in certain tumors or kidney diseases, such as nephroblastoma, adrenal tumor, polycystic kidney, renal artery stenosis, hemangioblastoma, etc.

(4) Polycythemia vera is a blood disease with unknown cause and mainly characterized by an increase in red blood cells.

Above we learned that women’s urine tests show high red blood cell counts. First of all, in our daily lives, we should pay attention to our physical health. Sometimes, we can easily get such diseases if we are not careful, which will put our bodies in danger of disease.
