Hi doctor my mother has to undergo cataract surgery. In her pre operative urine report her urine showed high pus cells and she received medication for it. After completing a one week course of medication she had her urine lab done again but her pus cells are still high along with high epithelial cells. Is this something very serious? I am attaching her two urine reports before and after her medication. The one marked with a pen is the first report and the one with no pen mark is the latest report.

Persistent pus cells suggest incomplete resolution or resistant bacteria. Epithelial cells may also indicate improper sample. Repeat test with culture helps guide right antibiotic. Meanwhile, stay hydrated and maintain hygiene
