What is the cause of occult blood in women's urine?

Many women will find occult blood in their urine when they go to the hospital for a physical examination. Since they are not very familiar with this condition, most women will be very worried that they have some kidney disease after this happens. So if occult blood is detected during a urine test, does it really mean that you have kidney disease? If it is not kidney disease, is it some other disease? Let me briefly introduce to you what is going on with this issue.

Urine occult blood is also known as urine occult blood. If the urine occult blood is positive and there is protein, kidney disease and hemorrhagic disease should be considered first, and further renal function tests can be done. If the urine protein is negative, you should go to a relevant specialist to find out the site and nature of the bleeding. It is generally believed that lower urinary tract bleeding may not be obvious because the red blood cells are not destroyed.

A positive urine occult blood test means that there are red blood cells in the urine, but it is not visible hematuria, but the red blood cells are found through testing methods. Hematuria is divided into gross hematuria, total hematuria, and positive urine occult blood. Red blood cells in the normal human body are constantly destroyed, and their components are excreted in the urine, so some normal people will also have positive occult blood in their urine. Under normal circumstances, 0-1 red blood cells per high-power field of view is within the normal range. Hematuria can only be diagnosed when the number of red blood cells in the urine under microscopic examination is greater than 3/Hp.

Urine occult blood is a name, which is detected by urine routine examination. There is an item of red blood cells in urine routine. If the red blood cells increase, a small number can be called urine occult blood. Urine occult blood itself can also be used as an indicator, whether it is negative or positive. If it is positive, how many pluses are there.

Generally speaking, when women have occult blood in their urine, it is very likely that they have inflammation, stones or tumors. Therefore, female friends must undergo further serum tests after being diagnosed with occult blood in their urine. This is the only way to find out whether they have the above-mentioned diseases and to better understand their condition.
