Urine Blood (Occult)
Occult blood on a urine dipstick detects hemoglobin, myoglobin, or intact red blood cells that are not visible to the eye. Positive results warrant microscopic examination and may indicate urinary tract infection, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, trauma, rhabdomyolysis, or urothelial cancer. Persistent hematuria should prompt imaging and sometimes cystoscopy to identify the source.
