A urine occult blood result of 3+ is usually associated with conditions such as nephritis, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital and receive treatment under a doctor's guidance, which may include oral medications or surgical interventions.

Prompt medical assessment is necessary, and treatment should be determined according to the severity of the condition.
Urinary occult blood 3+ is usually associated with conditions such as nephritis, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital and receive treatment under a doctor's guidance, including oral medications or surgical interventions.
1. Nephritis
Pharyngitis may cause symptoms such as back pain and fatigue in patients. If it is occult blood nephritis, a urine test may show occult blood 3+. Treatment typically involves taking medications such as amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium tablets, enalapril maleate tablets, or cefixime capsules as prescribed by a physician.
2. Urinary Tract Infection
Poor genital hygiene and pathogen infection can usually lead to damage of the urinary tissues, possibly resulting in minor bleeding. During routine urinalysis, this may present as urinary occult blood 3+. In severe cases, symptoms such as urgency and frequency of urination may occur. Treatment requires strict adherence to medical advice, including oral administration of medications such as levofloxacin tablets, erythromycin tablets, or ciprofloxacin tablets.
3. Kidney Stones
If kidney stones damage the mucous membrane, red blood cells may appear in the urine, leading to a finding of urinary occult blood 3+ during urinalysis. Treatment should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance, often involving lithotripsy surgery.
In addition, urinary system tumors may also cause urinary occult blood 3+. It is essential to promptly visit a hospital for evaluation and receive appropriate treatment based on the severity of the condition.
