Question

A PCT should recognize that hematuria is associated with which of the following conditions?

B) Urinary tract infection
C) Gastric ulcer
D) Hepatitis

Answer 1

White blood cells in the urine suggest a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Step-by-step explanation:

White blood cells found in the urine suggest a urinary tract infection (UTI).

UTIs are commonly caused by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) that can enter the urinary tract and cause infection.

Common symptoms of a UTI include pain or a burning sensation during urination, frequent urination, cloudy or bloody urine, and lower abdominal pain.
