Hi billagreste from Georgia in Australia. Blood in urine is NOT -- OK. There is visible blood and there is also blood that is not visible in urine. They will show up on the Siemen's dipstick IN 2 PLACES. Ask your GP to show you which two patches indicate each of these. Then ask the Nephrologist "why" it is appearing. (The time I had blood showing on the dipstick test of urine was when I was having "stent changes" in the ureter so the Nephrologist and I were both aware "WHY"). I AM NOT SURE ONE CAN JUST SAY IT IS NORMAL OR ROUTINE WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION.
