Question
What does it mean if the hidden blood in a child’s urine test is indicated as +/-10?
Answer
More than 95% of hematuria is caused by urinary system diseases, with kidney glomerular diseases, renal cysts, kidney stones, prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, and tumors being the most common. Other conditions such as coagulation abnormalities and systemic diseases can also cause hematuria.
