Hemoglobin in Urine (Hematuria): Causes & What to Expect

Question
Thank you for your time,

I understand there should not be hemoglobin in urine. My recent u/a revealed just that measuring 2+.

What would be reasons why it's there?

Thank You Very Much!

Mrs. K

Answer
Mrs. K.,

I assume your doctor will have you provide another urine sample and repeat the test. I wouldn't worry about the results right now. It might be something, or it could be nothing at all.

Here' a link with some possible causes, though:
