Does The Red Blood Count Of 10 During Pregnancy Need To Worried?

my wife is 23 weeks pregnant. And today we did a Urinalysis and the Red blood cell count was 10. She isnt having any uneasy feeling or anything out of the ordinary? Should we be worried? Googling these comes up with more questions then answers.

Thanks

Hi
Presence of RBCs in urine is most often associated with urinary tract infection. However conditions like renal calculi/ tumors can also cause hematuria.
Check for presence of WBCs/ pus cells in urine sample, if present get a culture sensitivity and start her on antibiotics (possible urinary tract infection) after discussing with her doctor.
Regards.
