Urine Blood
Panel: Urinalysis & Urine Tests · All urinalysis tests
Typical adult reference range
| Conventional units | Negative |
| SI units | — |
Ranges vary between laboratories and methods — compare your result with the range printed on your own report.
What a high or low result can mean
High urine blood: a positive result can be seen with blood, hemoglobin, or myoglobin in the urine, and with menstrual contamination.
These are associations, not a diagnosis: the same result can have several causes, and your clinician interprets it with the rest of your results and history.
Good to know
The dipstick detects heme and does not distinguish red cells from free hemoglobin or myoglobin.
◆ Kidney note
This test is closely tied to kidney health, and it is one a kidney specialist (nephrologist) watches closely. On this site, kidney-related results are a special focus: see the kidney and dialysis medicines in our Drug Guide and the kidney condition hubs for the wider picture.
