This suggests that an individual has hypertension. This is because when a person has constantly high blood pressure (as in the case of hypertension), the glomerulus (specifically the walls of the glomerulus) can become damaged, allowing some red blood cells to ‘spill’/ ‘leak’ out. Thus, these red blood cells would take part in the remainder of the filtration process, and thus show up in urine.
