My baby is 6 months old and has had a fever for the last 5 days. After consultation, we did a urine test. The report shows albumin as traces and pus cells 8 to 10. I want to know if this is a matter of concern and, on a general basis, how long it usually takes to recover after starting treatment.

Pus cells and albumin suggest UTI. Early treatment usually resolves it quickly in 5 to 7 days. Please confirm with a Urine Culture and Sensitivity test. Take the test immediately.

Hi, I am 22 weeks pregnant. My recent tests show: Glucose challenge test: 65 mg/dL Urine: Pus cells 5 to 6/hpf, Epithelial cells 4 to 6/hpf Hemoglobin: 11.1 g/dL Are these results normal, or is there anything to be concerned about?

My grandma had her routine blood checkup in which her urine report shows pus cells 15 to 20 per hpf. She does not have any complaints except occasional urinary incontinence for which she is taking Ayurvedic medicine. What does the presence of pus cells indicate?
