Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the test report, my opinion is as follows:
1. Blood 3+ and RBC 4-10 means there is hematuria. Cause could be a stone, tumor or urinary tract infection (No WBC, so less chance) commonly.
You can get an ultrasound of abdomen done to evaluate if any cause is present.
2. C-reactive protein is well within normal range. No infection or inflammation. Possibly it could be a stone.
Ultrasound necessary for confirmation.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
