3. Diseases that associated with abnormal urology or the urologic diseases/disorders (e.g. malignant tumor, urolithiasis, UTI etc).

Normal Values in a Healthy Individual

More than 5 RBCs per hpf is usually considered as abnormal.

 While RBC casts are suggestive of the glomerulotubular source of hematuria.

Furthermore, the absence of the RBCs or the RBC casts despite a positive test result also suggests hemoglobinuria and/or myoglobinuria.

Note: The test usually requires a urine sample. If urine presents with red coloration, it would be observed under the microscope.

In case, the RBC is not observed, occult blood test (presence of hemologlobin in blood) will be performed.
