Dad just took an exam, results are back but don't understand the urinalysis

[sdaccord01]

Hi,

My parents just went for a physical exam and everything seems okay, except under the part where it says "Summary of Results Outside the Normal Reference Range"

My dad had this under his: "Urinalysis: Blood 50 ery/ul"

From what I Googled, ery/ul means hemoglobin but I'm not too sure what the Blood 50 part means. If anybody knows and can tell me what this means (I majored in Engineering), please let me know, thanks.

Ask your doctor.

The best ATOT medical advice possible.

I sensed the sarcasm.

Here is what I found using Google. Looks like there are several things that could cause it. Could be an infection, or an overdone workout, or something more serious.

Definitely encourage your dad to schedule a follow-up with the doctor.

Edit: Grammar

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Jack says to Mike behind him, ?My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I better see a doctor.?

?Listen, you don?t have to spend that kind of money,? Mike replies. ?There?s a diagnostic computer at the drugstore at the corner. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what?s wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars? a hell of a lot cheaper than a doctor.?

So Jack deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to the drugstore. He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will be better in two weeks.

That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Jack began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and masturbated into the mixture for good measure. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener.
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant? twin girls. They aren?t yours, get a lawyer.
5. If you don?t stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better.
