A urine occult blood result of 2+ indicates the presence of hematuria. The most common causes of urine occult blood 2+ are urinary tract infection, kidney stones, and nephritis. It is recommended to check renal function and undergo a color ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. If symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination are present, urinary tract infection should be primarily considered; drink plenty of water and urinate frequently. Visit a hospital for routine urinalysis and other related tests, and receive anti-infective treatment under a doctor's guidance.
