Hi Sir. I have had back pain for one week, and today I developed fever, cold, and cough. I got my blood and urine tested. After the urine test, the doctor informed me that I have a urinary infection. The test showed albumin (present +) and pus cells 3 to 4/HPF. The doctor suggested taking Cystone syrup. After one day, I am fine from fever, cold, and cough, but I sometimes get pain in my right lower rib. What should I do?

The presence of albumin and pus cells in urine suggests a mild urine infection. Fever and cold improving with treatment is a good sign. However, right lower rib pain could mean the infection is mildly affecting the kidney area. Its best to repeat a Urine Routine Test and do a Renal Ultrasound to check for kidney involvement. Drink plenty of fluids and complete your course of medicine.

Why are my pus cells in urine 15-20/HPF? Is it serious?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know if my niece is virgin or not. Her urine reports have consistently shown full of pus cells for the past three years.

Is it normal to have a 10-12 HPF epithelial cell in urine?
