Is high red blood cell count in urine serious?

Whether high red blood cells in routine urine test is a serious problem depends on the individual situation, because any kind of urinary tract infection will have an impact on reproductive health, especially when there is hematuria or inflammation. You should pay attention to following the doctor's treatment and medication recommendations. At the same time, when any discomfort occurs in the body, you should go to the hospital for examination and then receive symptomatic treatment.

1. The presence of high red blood cells in urine indicates symptoms caused by acute urinary tract infection or urinary tract stone disease. If urine test results show high red blood cell count, it may indicate hematuria. A follow-up examination is needed to see if there are any problems such as inflammation.

2. Under normal circumstances, the production and destruction of red blood cells are in a dynamic balance, so the quantity and quality of red blood cells in the blood remain relatively stable. Regardless of the cause, the abnormal production and destruction of red blood cells will cause changes in the quantity or quality of red blood cells, leading to the occurrence of diseases. Polycythemia is seen in patients with severe vomiting, diarrhea, extensive burns and advanced gastrointestinal tumors. It is mostly caused by dehydration and hemoconcentration, which leads to a relative increase in the formed elements in the blood. There are also cardiopulmonary diseases: congenital heart disease, chronic lung disease and chronic carbon monoxide poisoning. Due to lack of oxygen, a large number of red blood cells must be used to maintain oxygen supply. In addition, it is also seen in the stem cell disorder, polycythemia vera. This balance can be disrupted for a variety of reasons, resulting in a decrease or increase in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin. The main parameter of red blood cells is slightly high, which may be related to blood concentration. It would be best to test blood rheology and blood lipids, measure blood pressure and do an electrocardiogram. As for the above results, there is no big problem. What you need to pay attention to is whether there is a problem with blood viscosity. If the examination is normal, it is not a big deal.

3. Generally speaking, the results of a single inspection are not accurate and need to be re-examined. If problems still occur after the re-examination, further examination is required. Such as color ultrasound and other examinations. Check for urinary tract infection, nephritis, stones, tumors and other problems. The reason needs to be found out. Adjust your diet. Don't eat raw, cold, spicy or seafood. Drink plenty of water, eat foods rich in vitamins and get a good rest. Active anti-infection treatment is necessary, and intravenous infusion of quinolone drugs such as levofloxacin may be considered. Pay attention to hygiene, actively seek treatment, pay attention to observation, do not eat spicy and irritating foods, etc. Ultrasound of the urinary system should be performed when necessary.
