Your symptoms and urine report (pus cells 200 to 300/HPF, occult blood) strongly suggest a urinary tract infection with possible kidney involvement. Start plenty of fluids and consult a doctor for antibiotics. Blood in urine and back pain could indicate pyelonephritis. Dont delay treatment.

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a RENAL PROFILE/KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST (RFT/KFT) Test

What's the cause of pus cells increasing in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, my wife and I went on a 12 days international vacation and were scheduled to go for our 12 week pregnancy scan immediately after returning. We had a long international flight and got the scan and urine test immediately. While the NT scan and other reports are fine, the urine report shows 6 to 8 pus cells with a urine pH of 8. Is this possibly due to temporary dehydration from travel or is it something more serious? My wife does not have any other symptoms and is fine. We are asking this since we can only meet our doctor in a wee time. Thanks.
