Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

0 – 10 /µL

Adult females

0 – 10 /µL

Adult males

0 – 10 /µL

Common alternative units:
/mm3(×1 /µL)
/champ(×0.2 /µL)

What does a low result mean?

A count below 10 /µL is standard, indicating clean and clear urine.

What does a high result mean?

A subtle trace of red blood cells frequently occurs after running, cycling, the tail-end of menstruation, or microscopic gravel.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Could running, cycling, or ending menses account for this small reading?
  • Would a repeat test after a few days of restful routine confirm clearance?
  • Is a routine renal and bladder ultrasound recommended?
