Question : Urine Analysis Dipstick Occult blood trace when SG >= 1.010. My primary physician is repeating urine analysis as there was occult blood trace from December 2015. Here are the urine analysis.

12/30/2015
SG - 1.010
Occult Blood - Trace
RBC - 0-2 / hpf

2/19/16
SG - 1.009
OB - NEG
RBC - 0-2 /hpf

3/14/16
SG - 1.020
OB - TRACE
RBC - 0-2 /hpf

4/14/16
SG - 1.009

My doctor prescribed Cipro without any urine culture as he assumed it is because of mild bacterial prostatis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I feel that your doctor is going the right way. Your reports' results are not very concerning as of now. However, they are not confirmatory in excluding things.

Infection or minor trauma could be possible reasons. However, following up with further similar tests would be useful. If there is increased number of RBC, your doctor may want to investigate further with an abdominal CT to rule out kidney pathology.

Hope it helps

Thank you for answer. My question would be is that a false negative for blood when SG < 1.010 or false positive on dipstick when SG >= 1.010
