This is for those who would like to help. I just want genuine people to answer.
When receiving a urine dipstick results back in a family medicine clinical setting! What do I do about blood. For example Blood 3 ERY/MicroL. All other things normal. She did end her period about 2 days prior to this blood work. I just want to know when do I need to do a full urinalysis and when I should be like the urine "looks good". If someone can explain this to me I would really appreciate you. I don't like to see these things and be panicked! thank you.
Good idea. Thanks for responding-I will def consider just doing urinalysis. What about Leukocyte of 75 and no symptoms. Or protein of 2+ ; when are you concerned about leukocytes and proteins?
Our leukocyte are 1 +, 2+ , 3+. I generally correlate this to the WBC and their symptoms when deciding whether to treat. For proteinuria I recheck in a few weeks. if persistent I consider neph consult.
