take the kid to the dr. thats not normal

hopefully just a common urinary trac infection,she is seeing a doctor i hope?

Go to the doctor and ask about the lab result. Yahoo answers is not the only place to ask.

I agree with the other people, take the kid to the doctor. It sounds like your child is really sick. But, it could be a bladder infection or maybe a kidney infection. Take your kid to the doctor or hospital immediately.

Usually there are no blood cells in the urine as the kidney does not allow blood cells to pass into the urine and the blood has no contact with the urine in any way.

If however there is infection of the kidneys or the bladder or if there is inflammation due to the presence of stones, immune disorders, allergies or growths anywhere along the genito-urinary system, blood can get into the urine.

White cells are most likely to be seen in the urine where infection is present as these are the cells, which combat microorganisms. (For similar reasons we see white spots on the throat when we have a sore throat and white heads on our skin when we suffer from infected acne. The white areas are collections of white blood cells, which form pus.)

A most likely explanation is simple cystitis from a bladder infection.

So the next step is to send a sample of urine away for culture and sensitivity to identify any microorganisms and to decide which antibiotic would be the most appropriate one to use in order to eradicate the infection.

(Should no infection be present, then further tests to measure kidney function and to outline the shape of the kidneys using X-rays may be required. Cystoscopy to directly view the inside of the bladder using a narrow flexible telescope is another important test.)
