Hello Doctor, My husband got 8 to 10 per high power field epithelial cells in his urine test. He had appendicitis three years ago. He is now getting pain in the lower abdomen. Please tell me, is this a serious condition or is it okay?

8 to 10 epithelial cells in urine could mean a mild infection or unclean sample. Lower abdominal pain may suggest UTI or post surgery adhesions (since he had appendicitis). Do a Urine Culture and Ultrasound to rule out deeper causes.

I have been suffering from a urinary infection for one month. I am under treatment but feel very weak, have no appetite, feel nauseous, and am always sleepy. My blood report shows Leucocytes 14,600 per cu.mm, C Reactive Protein is 162, and urine as sediment present.

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Kindly check my report. My leucocyte esterase is positive and pus cells are 10 to 12 WBC per HPF. Is this very high. I am 31 weeks pregnant. Can this harm my baby? I am really worried.
