Question 1

My urine report shows pus cells 20 to 24. Both kidneys show a few tiny calculi with the largest 3 mm on the right side and 2 mm on the left side. No hydronephrosis is seen on either side.

Question 2

Is a urine pH of 7.5 in an early morning sample considered normal? What is the ideal or healthy urine pH range? Should I consider any dietary changes based on this result?

Question 3

Hi Doctor, my father has type 2 diabetes, and his blood sugar was 270 mg per dL. He is currently on medication for diabetes. Over the past month, he has been experiencing frequent urination at night along with a burning sensation. These symptoms have occurred 2 to 3 times and tend to go away while he is on antibiotics, but they return once the antibiotics are stopped. An ultrasound of the lower abdomen revealed grade I fatty liver, a right renal cyst (1.2 by 1.1 cm), and grade I prostate enlargement (1.6 by 1.5 cm). Doctors have suggested that his urinary symptoms might be related to his diabetes. However, I would like to know if this could be a recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), whether diabetes is the main cause of his symptoms, and what the appropriate treatment should be. His renal function test (RFT) is normal. I am attaching the USG and urine reports for further evaluation.

I am a female, and my urine test report shows the presence of pus cells covering the full field. I am experiencing pain during urination as well as persistent discomfort throughout the day. The urine color is yellow. What could be the possible cause of my symptoms?

The presence of pus cells and pain during urination suggests a urinary tract infection. Drink plenty of fluids. Take appropriate treatment after confirmation. A culture test helps find the organism causing the UTI and the right medicine to target it.
