Urine for Dysmorphic RBC

This test evaluates red blood cells in urine for changes in shape, known as dysmorphic red blood cells. These altered cells may help indicate whether blood in the urine could be coming from the kidneys, particularly the glomeruli, rather than elsewhere in the urinary tract. A healthcare professional may order this test when urine testing shows blood or when kidney-related conditions are being evaluated. Results are interpreted along with symptoms and other laboratory findings.
