Pus cells greater than 10/hpf in pregnancy likely indicate UTI, which can harm both mother and fetus. Start antibiotics after a urine culture. Drink plenty of fluids and monitor fever or abdominal pain. Please take a Urine Culture immediately.

Severe back pain with burning sensation while passing urine. It started with clotted blood in urine and drops of blood. Urine report says pus cells 200 to 300 per high power field and occult blood present?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine test report shows pus cells 80 to 100, epithelial cells 25 to 30, and sediment present. I did this test because I experienced pain on the right side below my stomach one night. Since then, I have not had any pain.

I had a UTI and was treated with cefixime 400 mg twice a day for 7 days. Here are the results of my repeat urinalysis: color yellow, transparency slightly turbid, specific gravity 1.010, reaction pH 5.0, sugar/albumin/protein negative, WBC pus cells 8 to 12 hpf, RBC 0 to 2 hpf, epithelial cells moderate, and bacteria few. What does this mean?
