Urine tests
Hi!
I've done a urine stick test just for interest sake and was surprised to find traces of blood, protein and leucocytes in my urine. Is it normal or do I need to have a look at it?

JW, it sounds like you have a bladder infection. The best would be to see your doctor and have him prescribe you some antibiotics. Good luck.
