Im looking at the results from a physical examination and Im a bit worried. It mentions a 'slight turbid' appearance and there's a 'faint trace' of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination shows pus cells at 56 and red cells at 10-12, with epithelial cells marked as 23. Should I be concerned about these results? What could they indicate about my health?

The urine sample shows slight turbidity, with a faint trace of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination reveals 5-6 pus cells, 10-12 red blood cells, and 2-3 epithelial cells, which may indicate mild urinary tract irritation or infection. Its important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

View allMy wife has albumin in her urine along with a UTI. There isn't any sugar showing up in her urine, but she does have a history of diabetes. Should I be concerned and check her diabetes levels?
Albumin in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage, especially in the presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Since your wife has a history of diabetes, it is important to monitor her blood sugar levels regularly. I recommend checking her blood sugar levels and consulting with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, she can take antibiotics for the UTI and ensure proper hydration.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent lab results. I had both an LFT and KFT done, and while my LFT is normal, I'm worried about my creatinine level, which came back at 1.1. The normal range they gave me is between 0.4 to 1.4, so should I be concerned about it being at the higher end? Also, my uric acid level is 7.2, with normal ranges listed as 4.8 to 7.5. I noticed my urine is yellow in the morning, but it seems normal throughout the day as long as I stay hydrated. I had chickenpox last December, but that's all cleared up now. What do you suggest I do about these results? I've attached my KFT and LFT reports for you to take a look.
Based on your results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing mild dehydration, which can affect the color of your urine. It's important to stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day. To help manage your uric acid levels, you can make dietary changes such as reducing the intake of purine-rich foods like red meat, organ meats, and certain types of seafood. Additionally, you can consider medications like Allopurinol to help lower uric acid levels. For your creatinine levels, it's important to continue monitoring them regularly. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can help support kidney function. It would be beneficial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations based on your medical history and test results.
