Patients with dipstick results of 3+ or greater may have significant proteinuria; further work-up is indicated.B5
Patients with microscopic hematuria (i.e., at least three red blood cells per high-power field in two of three specimens) should be evaluated to exclude renal and urinary tract disease.C19,20
Exercise-induced hematuria is a relatively common, self-limited, and benign condition. Because results of repeat urinalysis after 48 to 72 hours should be negative in patients with this condition, extended testing is not warranted.C30
