A urine test strip that is positive for blood may indicate all of the following except:

A positive urine test strip for blood, or hematuria, can be indicative of several underlying conditions. In this scenario, the options leading to a positive result include kidney stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and trauma to the bladder.

Kidney stones can cause bleeding due to irritation of the urinary tract as stones move, which can lead to trace amounts of blood in the urine. Similarly, UTIs often result in inflammation and irritation of the bladder and urethra, potentially causing hematuria. Trauma to the bladder, whether from an injury or surgical intervention, can also result in blood appearing in the urine as a reaction to the damage.

In contrast, the consumption of a meat diet does not typically lead to hematuria. While a high-meat diet could affect other aspects of urine composition, such as increasing uric acid levels or changes in color, it does not inherently cause blood to appear in the urine. Thus, among the options presented, a meat diet is the one that does not correlate with a positive blood test on a urine strip.
