Question : why would my daughter of six have white and red blood cells in her urine

Answered by Dr. Sudarshan (3 hours later)

Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Six red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) in urine indicate urethra, urinary bladder or kidneys.

One or two Red cells and less than 5 white cells can be considered normal. More than this cells indicate urinary tract infection.

Does she have symptoms like burning sensation while passing urine / fever / pain in abdomen?

Hope this answer your query. Let me know if you have other enquiries.

Regards
